Give me 50 million Euros and 4 years and I'll get it done :)

Precisely my point. :-)

It's not that much money in the grand scheme of things. A major corp or government can easily fund it.

You continue to argue for my point. "A major corp or government" being necessary to fund development of such a crucial piece of software is already a bad sign of how unsustainably complex web has become.

Plus, Microsoft tried, Edge is now themed Chromium. Apple's Safari is kinda sorta working, but is the IE of the 2020's. 🤷‍♀️
