Even if that's true (and I share the sibling's skepticism), vendor A's incompetence and poor product quality is not meaningfully described as "lock-in" to vendor B - especially so when there's a readily available vendor C (Firefox) that doesn't share these ills.

It's more secure than JavaScript, which is a start. Dropping the need for just-in-time compilation while gaining performance is nice.
