We shipped v0 Web Components in 2014 after multiple years of attempting to collaborate with basically everyone. Weren't many choices & hadn't yet invented Origin Trials (see blog post from '15: https://infrequently.org/2015/08/doing-science-on-the-web/ …)

My personal view (not shared by others) is that V0 shipping precipitated others coming to the table to do V1, which we pursued through '15, culminating in Safari and Chrome shipping V1 impls in '16 (Safari was first to their dev channel, we were first to stable)

And legacy Edge never implemented v0 or v1, despite the constituent APIs being the most popular requests for many years: https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/257854-microsoft-edge-developer/filters/top …

So mobile browsers got to ~full Web Components coverage in early '18 when UC switched to a modern Chromium. Desktop will pull into port when IE 11 is gone and Chromium-based Edge ships (imminently! hooray!): https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/

There are lots of good outcomes from browsers finally agreeing a component model (even if it isn't perfect). For instance, Mozilla is re-doing their entire UI in Web Components: https://briangrinstead.com/blog/

And massive organisations like Google and Salesforce are able to move their UIs off of warring stacks onto a common infrastructure. Google's components are currently transitioning (more than 10K of them!) at a rapid pace to v1.

Moving big sites like YouTube over to V1 -- particularly after Mozilla sunk HTML Imports without a proposed replacement -- has taken time, but is also in-progress.

And to the OP's original point, toasts occur in most GSuite (desktop) sites. We have many internal implementations of them *specifically for desktop*. It's unclear what quibbles

It’s not hard. Don’t put Google-specific UI idioms in the Web.
