> browsers are in support of the standards

Well, realistically speaking, web components consist of a bunch of different specs and each specification should really be considered on its own merits. Shadow DOM and Custom Elements are mostly ok. HTML Imports spec looks like it was created with the simple "include jQuery widget on the page" use case in mind and doesn't consider anything else. Node.js/npm/CommonJS ecosystem, es6 modules — it's like nothing of this even exist. This is obviously not good enough and that's why Mozilla decided to not support this thing.

That's a really mean thing to say about an open-source javascript library. Especially considering that Inferno is a reimplementation of React API. I actually think Fb should make React API into its own mini-spec (like JSX or GraphQL) if only for trolling "muh web standards!" people.
