WebXR is also completely inane. What users are you "shipping" to? A tenth of a tenth of a tenth of a tenth of a percent of internet users?

You have a massive effort ahead of you, and you won't get there by chasing distractions. You need to have a singular focus if you're going to accomplish this goal.

It seems more than a bit presumptuous to tell open source maintainers what they “need to” do.

If they announced tomorrow they’d decided to focus all their efforts on using Rust to calculate digits of pi, that’s their perogative.

As a prolific creator with a strong sense of vision for your projects, I’d have expected this to be obvious.

They're not interested in "[providing] an independent, modular, embeddable web engine," they're interested in writing software in Rust and having their name associated with a Mozilla/Linux Foundation project. Go look at their governance.[1]

Their webpage tells you what they really care about, and it isn't embedding.
