What makes you think onscreen keyboards are not useful in macOS if at least for accessibility reasons?

The browser feature under discussion is clearly intended for small screen mobile devices.

Accessibility keyboards are just keyboards from the web page’s perspective

It's clearly NOT intended only for small screen mobile devices.

There's no reason to restrict suggesting input types to mobile browsers only.

That's exactly why desktop Chrome and Firefox has support it for a long time now.
