Except it doesn’t “just work” because most platforms have abandoned it.
The vast majority of computation today runs on Linux.
Arguably not where it matters.
the Windows kernel is counting it’s final days
it’s a pure cost center and no longer offers anything that Linux doesn’t.

We have established that. It doesn’t mean I’m wrong.
That’s what my other examples are evidence for. I’m extrapolating a trend I’ve seen many times before. I could easily be wrong.
I’m not stressing over it though, because I’m happy being a delusional old person.

And here’s the source code to Safari: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit
There’s an advertising campaign by the current big players that everyone may as well accept their bullshit, because everyone else does.
I’m telling you, from experience, that putting up with that (current) bullshit is temporary.
They’ll innovative new bullshit, of course. That’s how the pattern goes.
