I worry about this. The built-in mobile operating system components are reliable, accessible, and responsive. I really like it when an input element opens the Android UI because I know how it works and that it is reliable. This applies to <select>, but also date/time inputs for example.

This is only if you opt in to base-select, so if you don't use that, everything should continue to work the same, as far as I can tell.

"You" in this case is the website author. From a user perspective, that doesn't solve the problem.
