noticing an interesting feedback loop in the web: all the major engines were built on software renderers, which leads to certain optimizations and perf characteristics, which leads to web pages which rely on that, which pushes web engines to need/want those opts, and so on

The percentages don't really matter; if important/major pages run fine in vanilla gecko but not webrender, but a bunch of oddball pages run great in webrender, I don't think that's a win (and I don't think we could politically sell shipping that either)

I actually pretty much entirely disagree with your take—the biggest problem is that we don’t control the OS compositor, so we need invalidation and so forth in order to get good energy efficiency. We’ve already proven that you can get good FPS in the repaint-everything case.
