That's somewhat true, but the only other relevant browser is treating the internet like it owns it.
I'm sure it's wrong to "hold the web back", but I'm also afraid of when Google finally takes over the internet. Because those "don't be evil"-days are in the past.
Safari today has very good support for ratified web standards though. Looking through caniuse, the browsers are roughly equivalent with variances between them.
Most if not all the web feature that are not supported in Safari are things I resolutely do NOT want in a browser though.
Stuffing things in a browser is not good for anybody…

Food for thought:
Have you ever considered that the demand for this functionality in the browser only exists because it is forbidden natively? I've got no use for cross-platform 3D APIs, game streaming functionality or even WebRTC in my browser when it comes down to it; but it makes plain sense that people want to push this functionality to the browser because Apple resists it natively. That's just supply/demand at work.
Apple making a conscious choice to be cautious about including privacy/security harming features is not holding the web back. It's putting users first.
Chrome's reckless and indifferent approach of including every API under the sun is being used by advertisers today to track users through comprehensive browser fingerprinting.
