confirming that it is too difficult

That statement bumps with the reality that is being built.

It shouldn't take a decade to write a conformant browser.

I agree.

A simpler specification would allow more projects to deliver compliant browsers.

Also agree.

Saying it was "started in 2019" without mentioning SerenityOS and the single person that was writing it all at the time is a bit disingenuous. It was just a single component within an entire OS that was also being written from the ground up (also entirely by one person). It was in 2022 that it was spun out into its own project because of the community interest in it.
