Because it’s essentially propaganda. By conflating “Not Implementing something Google did” with “Intentionally Crippling”, they hope to pressure Apple by through either the general public (the PR game) or through Government mandates (the lobbying game).

This has been going for at least as long as Blink was forked off WebKit.

And why Apple? Because Apple’s the only other browser giant, and they do have motivation to not implement a lot of these features. Frankly a lot of these are features I don’t want in my fucking browser either. But web developers, and businesses that predominantly rely on the web (such as Google) want as many complex APIs as possible implemented in the browser.

They don't need to implement it though. They just need to unban browser vendors from shipping their own engines.

Browser vendors have been able to ship their own engines in the EU for almost 2 years now. What great benefit to consumers has that enabled?
