Not OP, but the subtext I got was that Google--as a browser vendor--doesn't usually push features/standards so obviously broken/harmful that the rest of the ecosystem rebels.

They’ve done this repeatedly – WebUSB, Web Bluetooth, WebMIDI, and AMP, off the top of my head. Time and time again, Google have pushed a spec that both Mozilla and Apple reject on privacy or security grounds.

I agree it looks like what the OP is saying. And I do agree with the siblings, in that it's completely wrong.

You could have said the same about IE during most of the time it lead, with the exact same rationale.
