I've read a few articles like this in the last few days and I don't understand why everyone is ignoring the elephant in the room. It's 2024 and Safari is still not evergreen.
When people say Safari is the new Internet Explorer, replies always mention how Safari just adopted such and such bleeding edge CSS feature (while ignoring much older features, though), but the truth is many Apple users won't see those features for years, until their devices break.
Apple is stopping both users and developers from enjoying these very same new features they so happily announce. The web is stuck in time, waiting for enough people to update their devices. Just like in the age of Internet Explorer. At least back then people had the option of installing a different browser. So maybe Safari and the apple ecosystem is actually worse than IE and Windows used to be.
