>we can expect it to get much better than it is today

Which is not a high bar to clear. It literally only got where it is now because execs and product people love themselves another standard, because if they get their products to support it they can write that on some excel sheet as shipped feature and pin it on their chest. Even if the standard sucks on a technical level and the spec changes all the time.

This is excessively cynical, it's a useful tool despite its shortcomings.
