I don’t know. The author makes some arguments I could get entertain and get behind, but they also enumerate the immense complexity that they want web browsers to support (incl. Gopher).

Whether or not Google deprecating XSLT is a “political” decision (in authors words), I don’t know that I know for sure, but I can imagine running the Chrome project and steering for more simplicity.

The company that invented "Web Bluetooth" doesn't have a leg to stand on whining about "immense complexity" in having to maintain old stable features in their browser implementation.
