I’m no Google fan, but deprecating XSLT is a rare opportunity to shrink the surface area of the web’s “API” without upsetting too many people. It would be one less thing for independent browsers like Ladybird to worry about. Thus actually weakening Google’s chokehold on the browser market.

There's a lot of back and forth on every discussion about XSLT removal. I don't know if I would categorize that as 'without upsetting too many people'

We are largely the nerds that other nerds picked on for being too nerdy. I’d bet that a hugely disproportionate share of all the people in the world who care about this subject at all are here in these conversations.
