I feel like it’s a niche feature that got way too much attention. In a past job, we maintained a widget customers could embed onto their page. How much trouble we had with parent styles creeping into our widget and ruining the layout! This would have been so much easier with shadow DOM effectively isolating it from the customer site; that is the only valid use case for it, I feel.

Yet, for actual web components, I entirely agree with you.
