>we plan to ship WebGPU on Mac and Linux in the coming months, and finally on Android

Sounds good. I'm not really thrilled about it as of now. What ever the reason, it's not been supported in Linux for any browsers as of yet. My guess is it's too hard to expose without creating terrible attack surfaces.

This seems to support my view that web standards are too overgrown for how users actually use the web. It's obviously too late to do anything about it now but all the issues of monoculture and funding we are worried about today stem from the complexity of making a web browser due to decisions tracing all the way back to the days of Netscape.
