Great post! Minor nitpick: WebGL does support MSAA since WebGL1, but in WebGL1 only on the canvas, and you don't have any control over the number of samples (can only select antialiasing on/off) - not that it matters much anymore :)

What WebGL2 is still missing is MSAA texture objects (it only supports MSAA render buffers), which makes it impossible to directly load individual samples in a shader (useful for custom-resolve render passes). That's only possible in WebGPU.
