When performance is a non-issue enough that schedules and features are ALLOWED to be the priority, they will always win.

When performance HURTS so much that they are forced to care about it ABOVE the pressure of features and schedules, then we get somewhere.

Which is why browser emulation doesn't work -- it doesn't inflict enough pain. They wince through it, say "well that was awful, back to rushing more features out the door" and forget about it.

That won't happen because management people are the ones with Bugattis. You got the wrong target.
