Google isn’t forcing anyone’s hand here. They are removing functionality. Everyone else could just not do that and maintain compatibility if they believed it was valuable to do so.

I don’t know why you have a chip on your shoulder for Google but sure. Yes, Google is clearly doing this purely because they are evil and removing this little-used tech is the key to cementing their stranglehold on the internet. Yes, Google is strong-arming poor Apple and Mozilla into this. Yes, everyone who disagrees with you is both a complete moron and a “daddy Google” fanboy.

Better now?
