Browser vendors come up with improvements.
The W3C board (which Apple and Google are a part of) gets to vote on the implementations and suggest changes.
The new feature either becomes a standard or not.
Apple wields their power here to block any new feature that could make a web browser compete with native apps where Apple can extract 30% of all purchases made through apps.
Apple isn't making suggestions for any changes to the proposals, they just block any new feature that might let browsers become as functional as native apps, purely out of greed.
