    A) Because they suffer from some kind of weird delusion that they will some day gain mote than single digit market share and then subsequently lose it because somebody hacked your grandmother‘s computer with a YouTube video that was running in full screen?

    B) They are the worlds laziest coders and google paid them 20M a year to do nothing for… however many years it’s been.

      I wouldn’t say they’re lazy. Quite the opposite in fact. They’re just so under-resourced compared to Chrome, which has the benefit of a massive for-profit company backing it, in addition to a much larger range of third-party contributors (from Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, and more). They struggle to keep up with the fast pace at which web standards evolve.

      Only a fraction of a fraction of this is actually used in relation to the browser, and only a fraction of this goes to the actual coders/developers.

      I am sure the devs do the best work they can do and are allowed to do. This is entirely a management issue.
