@slightlyoff yeah folks arguing against browsers shipping early prototypes clearly have never actually worked at the edge.
I remember seeing the progress of the storageFoundation API back in 2021. This shipped in Chrome only and projects like Photoshop tested it out and developed against it. Issues were found, the design was honed and then eventually rehomed under the File System Access API and adopted broadly.
While messy and requiring a few restarts this process was a huge win for the web.
