I'm just tired of these excuses. Either you take a stand and do the bare minimum to keep the freaking free web alive or you go down with excuses of superior tech. I don't know shit about modern web tech, thank fucking God, because no one can tell me it hasn't gone straight downhill last ten years with a straight face. There may be cool tech demos in a few places, but that's it about it. It's just gotten bloated.
Hey fellas, is webp bloat?
It has gone downhill. But there are genuine reasons why people are locked to apple, google, microsft etc.
Unless you're willing to spend another 6 million for new machinery... You're not strong arming them into supporting new platform. Hell, one of the most popular gene slicer machines only runs on XP. No compatibility or tweaking will make it work. Much smarter people have tried.
Welcome to the world of true big tech. It's where consumer grade is thankfully not heading but doesn't mean it's not getting worse, those things aren't mutually exclusive.
