FWIW Chrome 79-dev Linux renders partial ligatures the same way Firefox does. As the "someone" accused of being enthusiastic here: you need some kind of partial ligature rendering to render partially-selected ligatures, which I still maintain is worth doing.

As the "someone" also behind component alpha, the rationale was without it, we would have had quite significant visual regressions when we introduced layers for text (especially in Windows XP where proper Cleartype rendering was really important and expected by users).

As for SVG fonts, for which I am also largely responsible: I guess demand for fancier glyphs than those supported by COLR hasn't really emerged, so mea culpa.
