Both things can be true:

1) that they're enforcing these specs for technical reasons, not because they want vendor lock-in

2) a result of these decisions in the long term is vendor lock-in



I agree with this, but I think the spec author's public statements means we don't need to give them the benefit of the doubt. People have repeatedly pointed out how this will result in vendor lock-in, and their response is either "yep, working as intended" or "we don't want to talk about this anymore." They're just steamrolling ahead with support from all the Big Tech companies. It's a really ugly situation =/
