Oh yes, you do. To the point of inventing contract clauses for Firefox.

It's just extremely unfortunate that Safari is now between a rock and a hard place (only because of Apple) as really they are the only web engine of note to withstand "whatever Chrome spits out is standard now"

It's incredible how you insist on being so obnoxious, that you refuse to understand the most obvious of arguments that others make. You can't just detach a single sentence from the broader point he's making. Namely, him not caring about what browser do or don't implement, is connected to demanding that Apple stops with its anti-competitive business practices such that Apple's bad decisions should only affect Safari instead of holding back the entire web.

That reads like an #ad that Apple would pay for to reframe their hostile actions as somehow poor old Apple fighting a 'heroic' fight against Google. The reality, however, is Apple simply acting based on their conflict of interest, so spare us such Apple whitewashing narratives. Apple is a company in a capitalist society, whose entire raison d'être is nothing but maximizing shareholder value. You are not on r/apple, in case you forgot.
