I agree with you (as a Canadian) that excellence isn’t really part of our culture.

However, this has long had American precedents.

Both Airbnb and Groupon built for Chrome as of 2017.

Canada excels in diplomacy and things-like-that though.

Yes it is shameful but it's not a public utility like a bank doing it.

MBNA is hard to call a public utility. They are a niche credit card provider for all sorts of smaller rewards programs in Canada.

And you won’t find governments doing much better on this front.

I get your point, but if big tech isn't willing/able to handle multiple browsers, MBNA is not going to be able to do it.
