This is an important piece about where power actually lives on the web: not in the specification itself, but in whether powerful players choose to participate, implement, and ship.

I also appreciate Mark’s call for more ambition here. Too often, we talk about the web as if it’s destined to be an OS for web apps rather than a public-interest platform in its own right. That’s not inevitable. But getting somewhere better requires recognizing that refusal, delay, and strategic disinterest can be every bit as consequential as formal opposition.
