Agreed. Much thanks to Mozilla for taking the wildly unpopular decision to shoot the early proposal down as well instead of supporting it just because it'd make people more mad at Chrome.

Pursuing a different implementation didn't require rejecting the initial proposal, especially after already having an implementation. They didn't even agree to re-add support with a Rust implementation much later. This is a post hoc justification for Mozilla blindly following Google at the time.
