>of course the html, DOM, web api etc are full nigger shit, but that doesnt mean the container around it has to be as well
It does, because all the retard shit inherent to basic web functionality is going to affect programs that want to implement that basic functionality. What happens then is that the only browsers available are the browsers that were started before and you can only put more shit on top of that, which is bad in itself, but then it also means the number of browsers is limited and the ones behind them are corporations, thus it's easy and desirable for a corporation to buy them out. Look at what happened to firefox, a single "donation" from google was all it took for them to sabotage h265 and implement forced google analytics on the browser itself. Sure there are forks and "new" browsers, but those are just built on top of those bloated programs built on top of decades old software.
The reason why they're shit is because they're maintained by profit first corporations, but the only reason those are the only options is due to the disgusting state of the modern web.
To make a good browser that works with 90% of the internet it would be easier to just make a new internet instead, and then you have a new standard that is going to bloat browsers even more.
