So it's important to view the manufactured opacity and disengagement from Apple as a tactic: by withholding engineering bandwidth in standards, it can prevent responsibly designed features from migrating to more "official" standards bodies which provide the cover of more consensus.
When you don't want to fund the work, and the gate is consensus, you can spend a *lot* less to dam the standards river and muddy the water downstream. And Apple does.
