Unless you’re Chrome, in which case it’s really great. /s
When Apple does it, it’s looked at with derision.
By...who? There's 100 comments in this thread right now and not one is criticizing the new features.

which I read as expressing contempt - the very definition of "derisive".

So, "new" as in first implementation in a browser.
If that were the case, nobody could use new features unless all three major browser engines supported them at the same time and that’s clearly not happening.
It’s pretty easy to use @supports to check for feature support. CSS and HTML are pretty resilient with code they don’t understand.
Remember Chrome ships things all the time other browsers don’t support but that’s okay for some reason…
