If you're a Chromium contributor or otherwise involved, I'd be happy to chat further about this and work up a submission to demonstrate the issue with a minimal repro. But if not, I don't think they need you to stick up for them.
It's clear from the threads I did post that lots of devs are frustrated with Chrome's behaviour and the team's lack of attention to not just fixing bad behaviour, but complying with the HTML spec. Without even focusing on the type=number problem, I have spent enough time fighting other behaviour which is only an issue in Chrome.
> you only vaguely remember a bug
Thanks to that ad-hom I am now irritated, and I went back to our internal Slack to find the screenshot of the type=number bug. Sharing a screenshot here would have no real value to this discussion, but it's real.
A cursory search would show you how much frustration there is around broken autofill attributes. Such a dismissive attitude helps no one. Would you like me to paste the contents of the Jira issue I did last month working around a password input where we couldn't turn off autofill?
