> the WebGPU committee had to work backwards to justify

Do you mean to allege "[the Apple delegates to] the WebGPU committee"? Because the committee as a whole has a ton of public minutes that show how strident the opposition to this was. (Probably filed under "This is not a place of honor" :)) I don't even want to re-read what I said at the time. No one involved, literally no one, is happy about that chapter, believe me. We are happy to be shipping something, though.
