If you look at the telemetry for last actual Firefox release, only 8 (yes, eight!) out of 1.67 BILLION handshakes used a P-521 curve. This is a good indication that P-521 isn't needed, at least for certificates verified by web browsers.
* npm - (1,916,619)
* Maven - (465,713)
* NuGet - (299,957)
npm has about 2.5 times the number of packages as Maven and NuGet combined; it's not surprising that it has more drama than other ecosystems.
Certificate authorities like Camerfirma[1] were revoked from all browsers because of numerous policy violations. This legislation is intended to force browsers to accept their certificates.

Here are some of the many possibilities:
The service has poor uptime and you're on call every weekend.
Schedule pressure or poor management means that you're asked to come in on Fridays "until the next release".
The reduced-hours position was sponsored by a VP who has lost interest or left the company. Your direct manager has deadlines to meet and pressures you into working full-time.
I wouldn't say that they've refused to solve its deficiencies; Google is not to blame for nor do they have any control over the Linux kernel's development practices. The kernel developers don't want to have stable APIs and the natural result is that out-of-tree drivers are poorly supported.

It wasn't just picking the wrong vendor but one of our competitors got a new CTO after a critical system was poorly migrated to the cloud.
