And yet another modernisation of the web platform sabotaged by Apple and their misguided (malicious?) refusal to update their devices continually.

It will take years until this can be widely used as intended.

The spec hasn't even reached stage 4 yet. Chrome only added support 58 days ago. Safari already added support in their alphas.
Sure and that’s nice going forward. Yet unlike with Chrome, older devices won’t be updated making this a nice add-on at best.
I checked and you're mostly incorrect.

2018+ Macs/iPhones still receive Safari updates, with security updates going further back.

Chrome is Android 10+, which requires a device not older than 2017/2018 as well.

Chrome is Windows 10+, which I'd say requires 2015+ hardware.

The difference is not that large, how many devices older than 9 years do you use?

The specification reached stage 4 just yesterday. That was the motive behind the blog post :)
