There's more where that came from. Google Chrome also did URLPattern, which I hope Chrome and Safari will hold firm on not supporting. The compression streams API wasn't bad, but it's a tiny API. I see a pattern here: Google sucks at UX and DX.

Edit: I looked up standards positions and both support URLPattern.

Did you mean Firefox and Safari? Anyway, WebKit appears to be adding support for URLPattern.

I did, and looked it up and Firefox chose the support position for it as well. I looked at the API again and I guess it's all right. It doesn't help much with tree-based routing like Roda (https://roda.jeremyevans.net/index.html) but it seems useful for simple stuff.
