Developers are not jumping through hoops to support their platform. I’m a full stack dev, I understand what it takes to support safari and a majority of the time is actually Chrome being fast and loose with the standard, not Apple. Is it a partial implementation, sure. But the features lacking don’t stop meaningful work at all. Just like hearing my statement is old, so is yours.

I am as well, I understand a closed platform when I see one.

If only it was true...

It' s not lacking, it has been removed on purpose.

The web engine Safari is built from already supports those features.

I can play this game too, Nope.
Nope, apparently you can't play the game.

You don't even understand the rules.

Sorry.

Notification APIs are in Webkit, the open source implementation of Safari.

proof: https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/blob/89c28d471fae35f1788a0f...

Can you prove that Apple didn't remove standard APIs from their browser?

So this somehow keeps other HTML from rendering and CSS just doesn’t display correctly right? Look around, you’ll find very little care for that API except from sites trying to spam devices, something apple is against. So again, no, safari is following the spec just fine.
