Seems a bit jaded tbh. Safari devs were giving tentative support, iirc Mozilla was also down to deprecate further. If you always listened to every user you'd drown in tech debt. Some stuff just isn't worth it even if 0.5% love that feature.
Especially since they could ship the JS polyfill With the browsers. Seems like a decent middle ground to me.

Great job, really admirable.
