> For me the usage argument sounds like an argument to kill the other standards rather than to keep this one.
Google themselves have a document on why killing anything in the web platform is problematic: e.g. Chrome stats severely under-report corporate usage. See "Blink principles of web compatibility" https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RC-pBBvsazYfCNNUSkPqAVpS...
It has great examples for when removal didn't break things, and when it did break things etc.
I don't know if anyone pays attention to this document anymore. Someone from Chrome linked to this document when they wanted to remove alert/prompt, and it completely contradicted their narrative.
