I'm one of them. CORS is THE topic that I have to get a refresher for periodically. It's like I forget about it, it never sticks. I'm a backend developer so I never encounter any cors issues. Maybe that's why? I seem to forget things that I don't use on a day to day basis, so.
The biggest problem with CORS is precisely that most CORS errors show up as a frontend problem - specifically, a browser problem - but it needs to be fixed on the backend
The DX for CORS and CSP is horrible because none of the browsers point out where the problem is coming from. In a sane world they would all write "response header" or "meta tag" somewhere in the message but the Riddler, Jigsaw, the Cheshire Cat were each hired by the major browser vendors to write the error messages. Chrome is the closest with "requested resource" but that's still downright cryptic. But on the other hand I'm glad all three of them still agree on something.
