By looking at their developer which would have to do the work and those developers said "I'm not interested." Then looking at Mozilla developers which said "I'm not interested." Then looking at Safari developers which also said "I'm not interested."

Having developers decide they won't invest into your toy format forever is not FUD.

In case of Google it is. Haven't looked at others. Mozilla is dependent on Google money, Safari irrelevant.
I'm not sure you understand what "FUD" means.
I'll explain it to you. "fear, uncertainty, doubt".

"uncertainty, doubt": "not enough interest from the entire ecosystem to continue experimenting"

"fear": "By removing the flag and the code in M110, it reduces the maintenance burden and allows us to focus on improving existing formats in Chrome"
