When you're doing cross-platform development like this for the web, you're going to have a "least common denominator" that you have to design for. Safari is that least common denominator right now only because Microsoft switched to using Chromium. But if Apple switched Safari to use Chromium, then Firefox would be the least common denominator and supporting Firefox would suddenly seem like a burden.

It's fine to criticize Safari and encourage Apple to do better in the space, since Apple isn't super incentivized to improve Safari. But this narrative that always targets the browser with the smallest feature-set at any given time will only stop when all browsers are Chromium based. (At which point they'll start complaining about other browsers using a Chromium version that's slightly behind Chrome.)

Firefox releases every 4 weeks. Safari releases twice a year. That's a significant difference. We should all expect more from a $2.5T company (whose browser engine is the only allowed browser engine on iOS).

To clarify: it's not an attack on developers of Safari. The point is that Apple is severely underinvesting while at the same time blocking competition.
