I'd love to read an impartial third party analysis of how Google/Microsoft/Mozilla/et al perf and promo processes effects web standards. I suspect it effects designs and certainly implementations.

This matches reports I have heard from other top tech companies. I found it very surprising. My guess is that industry impact is not necessarily the same as visible bottom-line impact. On a positive note, there are companies that value standards work.

Yes, the funnel is narrow at the top and direct $$ impact is easier to identify than indirect contributions. And much standards work actually isn't strategic so there is a bias against it.

The timelines are also out of sync; standards impact is huge but diffuse and occurs over very long timescales. You don't put up roofs w/ standards, you change the weather. Easy for firms to imagine it was always thus.
