@RWLL @BryanLunduke Speaking for myself and no-one else: the W3C's governance structure is built on a membership system which gives large players a bigger voice unfortunately. I also think the W3C management is afraid of what happened after WHATWG: if they say "no" to the big players, they're afraid the big players will just pick up their ball and leave.
IMO these dynamics have pressured the W3C management to take stances that will ultimately hurt the web they steward.
