Safari has been holding the web back for years on features that make the web competitive with Apple's app ecosystem. I don't believe the distinction of "rejecting" vs being slow has merit.

Safari vs. iOS Safari is a distinction that needs to be made and people need to keep in mind. Apple's a lot more likely to allow stuff in desktop that it won't even consider for iOS. I mean your own link for media source has it being fully supported since 2014 in desktop Safari.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think mobile safari is most safari usage.

Technically true but is it mean anything? Support on iOS Safari is the important thing.
