That's exactly it. If we complained about every new feature we'd still be using static pages with blink tags. Google and Firefox are teaming up to implement this features. Look at how Google went about WebGL. They had a competing plugin called O3D but when they saw O3D was working out they dropped it completely and even ported the O3D api to WebGL (which I use now since then). Microsoft of old would just have kept going (hence DirectX instead of continuing to support OpenGL).
