@sarahjamielewis@mastodon.social A large part of the problem is that the web standards process has become utterly captured by corporate interests. (I half-jokingly refer to this as the Web Standards Industrial Complex). It didn't used to be overwhelmingly complex—it's was a choice, perhaps not entirely deliberate, but one which corporate interests had no incentive to avoid. I think it what would help is if prominent members of the _open_ web helped reduce, and define the minimal spec they actually need.
