In plain language, Web competes with Native. Google has a native platform but with as little lock in as possible (no hardware, payments nor browser lock in). Apple has a native platform with complete hardware, revenue and browser lock-in. Which do you think wants Web to win? 1/2

Not nefariously, but Apple has less incentive in the web winning, and underinvests in Safari. Now, imagine Google, trying desperately to get the Web to win, but gets beat up for it because it doesn't always wait for perfect consensus. Again, G err'd with aSS, but not much more.

The problem with “wanting the web to win”, but not being willing to wait for consensus about what the web *should be* is that it turn the _open_ web into Google’s web. Which is just another way of destroying the web.

This is a bit over-the-top wrt adoptedStyleSheets. Pulling the thread, they were discussed at TPAC in '16 & '17, iterated on in public w/ collaboration from developers, and only shipped in '19 after spec and tests were in place.https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/m/#!topic/blink-dev/gL2EVBzO5og/discussion …

I hesitate to ask how much slower engines should go.

There’s always going to be tension between “move fast and break things” and slow and careful deliberation. This is a good thing, it’s fine to put pressure in either direction when there are valid concerns.

Invoking FB's motto (not ours) suggests you might be overfitting some bias.

I wasn’t claiming that was your motto or work mode, just one end of a spectrum.

"So, when did you stop beating your wife, Mr. Smith?" might not be a good opener in trying to convince Mr. Smith to mow his unsightly lawn.

Not what I said. This type of argument style is beneath you and not helpful. Please read and try to understand my viewpoint before replying.

I get what you were going for, but after my objections to invocation of that same motto on a recent call, it's disappointing to see you using it as a rhetorical frame.

I (now) understand that motto may be a trigger for you. Please don’t conflate my intents with others.
