This kind of philosophy bothers me:<p>&gt; “There’s a tax that comes with interoperability and what can be seen as complexity, which is it can actually be an impediment to innovation.”<p>Yes, it&#x27;s possible that standards can become too complicated. Rather than refusing to participate, as Apple has done with pointer-related designs, why not join the group and give rational reasons for simplifying the design? Every thing Apple has reinvented here is already supported by W3C Pointer Events as far as I can tell.
