Re-read the subthread. The only place he reacts is in the "non-constructive feedback". All the constructive feedback is promptly ignored.
Chrome team couldn't give two craps about any amount of constructive feedback from other browser implementers, framework authors and web developers on most of the stuff they ram through standards bodies. Why start now?
I'm not saying it has to be particularly constructive. But you can describe how a policy is terrible without your comment becoming a personal combative mess.
Something like:
Yeah, users comprise the web, and Chrome doesn't listen to them. See the alert fiasco, among others. [side note: probably elaborate here, I don't know what alerts you're talking about even after a search]
The Chrome team created a "standards" documents for WebHID that was so bad that Mozilla engineers couldn't even understand it, and still went ahead with shipping.
Others "standards" have had serious issues pointed out, with other browsers refusing to implement them, and Chrome keeps shipping them by default.
Users and proper standards haven't mattered at any point.
chrismorgan: WebUSB is not finalized, there’s no short-term prospect of a second implementation, it is not on the standards track, given other implementers' positions if it ever becomes standardized it will be with breaking changes, etc.
RReverse: lol it was first proposed by Mozilla in Firefox OS, and WebUSB is good, actually
chrismorgan: "My main disagreement with you is not based on the soundness or otherwise of WebUSB functionally, but your position on it as a specification."
... and the discussion was safely deflected to discussing FirefoxOS and the merits of WebUSB itself.
This is the modus operandi of Chrome's "developer advocates": ignore, deflect, gaslight. It happens again, and again, and again with any and all public personas out of the Chrome team. No matter how constructively you engage with them. To RR's credit he doesn't stoop low to gaslighting (as in "we blame other browsers for everyting").
The only recourse is to cut through all the bullshit and call out the deflections and the lies.
