I'm sorry for the Chrome devs to be on the receiving end of the shitstorm. I've met quite a few of them and I know they do care about the Web.
But I'm not sure if they realize, being on the inside of Google, just how much goodwill this company has lost on numerous botched UA sniffs, AMP, EME, manifest V3. We've had "we're listening, but we're doing it anyway" before.
