If somebody says “our position is A but if that’s not possible we should do B”, it means they prefer A. It doesn’t mean they prefer B, and telling people that they prefer B when you know otherwise is dishonest.

The comment isn’t “our position is A” the comment is “our position is A if B,C,D aren’t possible for compatibility reasons”. Aka “if we must remove it then fine, else we would like to improve it”.

Google then side stepped all the compatibility concerns and notions to improve it and arguments against removing it so they could only address A.

Go ahead and argue for all the word twisting these bad actors have done. You won’t change my mind this is an obvious attack on the open web by people subservient to the ad tech industry. Prove to me it’s not when all the browsers depend on a platform for ad money. M

They have installed people like Mason Freed into these positions, who are incapable of reason, to carry this objective forward.
