That seems like a bizarre reason not to use it, given that it's strictly a performance optimisation, and browsers will simply ignore CSS rules they don't understand.
I imagine that it could cause accusations from Apple that Google is trying to take their customers out of the ecosystem, putting a nice cash flow at risk.

I work in UX, I am constantly being given designs that don't work well with native/semantic elements- a great example is tables. As soon as the table needs some kind of animation, drag-drop behavior, anything like that, I can't use a anymore; or it becomes some frankenstein kafkaesque amalgamation that is impossible to maintain. Does the table really need an animation? (probably not) drag and drop? (probably not) But…
Every time I’m given a table mockup, it’s flexible column widths with a sticky header. It’s damn near impossible even with JavaScript.

You might need table-layout:fixed and could also help to set a column width using colgroup col elements. I think that's what I'm doing on my little table component in this page: https://i5ik.github.io/_____/7guis/

You can do this all in CSS, if you’re willing to restyle all the table elements to use grid. I demoed this at my last job, and it worked pretty well. (This has its own trade offs)
I hope that other data grid libraries can mimic some of this to improve web accessibility. These components can be really tedious to interact with today
I've been doing web development for 20 years now. I don't know if it's strictly endemic to web or frontend, but I feel like we're solving the same problems over and over again, using the same low levels of abstraction. There's no reason for lists to scroll slowly after so many years of scrolling lists. There should just be one way to do a scrolling list, implemented natively and left alone. Yet, in web development, t…
We've been solving the same problems over and over again ever since someone had the bright idea of putting a display on a computer.

I was going to suggest Google, except... they really don't, do they? They want everyone to use their own tools/sites/etc. Hmm, maybe Mozilla? But they've been firing all of their staff and cutting way back, so they won't do it. Microsoft? Save reasoning as Google. So... yeah, there probably is nobody that has the incentive to do this.

What you need is Open UI. The browser vendors are working on it. https://open-ui.org/ > The purpose of Open UI to the web platform is to allow web developers to style and extend built-in web UI controls, such as dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, and date/color pickers. > To do that, we'll need to fully specify the component parts, states, and behaviors of the built-in controls, as well as necessary accessibility…

That's why I included "flexible column widths" since it's definitely doable if you use a fixed layout table.
