Way back when I was working my first job, datalist didn’t work on Firefox. That’s what got Firefox removed from the list of supported browsers.

It has been a problem for a long time if you want to support anything other than Chrome.

That's partially because Chrome keeps adopting standards nobody else wants to support.

Both things can be true. Chrome supports a bunch of non standard APIs but it also has some of the best coverage of standard APIs.
With Google coming up with most of the new stuff and having chairs in the committees, that's hardly surprising.
