Why do you believe Google would not be able to ignore the WHATWG the same way they could ignore other standards organizations if they controlled the entire browser market?

    Well, for starters the WHATWG listens to Google, not the other way around. And yeah, they do "control" the entire "browser market", or more precisely, the part they care about: how to show ads.

    Then you're just agreeing but saying it's already happened.

    That's one way of seeing it.

    I don't agree with the W3C or IEEE defining the standards anymore, or with Chromium becoming a "de facto" standard; the whole point of creating the WHATWG was to explicitly ditch the W3C, make Chromium into the basis for a living standard... and everyone clapped (except for some die hards who didn't get the memo).
