Why didn't ecma just use Mozilla's implementation?

Because the ES6 ECMA is made by a bloody time-wasting committee and the V8 team is also slow as hell to implement JS-level stuff (and let's not speak of IE and MS).

The spec is quite closely modelled after Mozilla's implementation, yes. Other engines just neglected to implement it.

Why would they have? Seems like waiting for ecma approval and specification makes sense.

Sure, I didn't mean they did something wrong.

Although it is quite obviously a good idea :)

Ecma is a standards body, not an implementor. And standardizing things doesn't make them appear in other engines.
