Agree. Actually developers/companies who create browsers may eventually sober up and create some useful components and provide better means to validate so we don't have to reinvent the wheel in every framework and component library.
Date input was nearly unusable until a couple of years ago. It still sucks TBH.
Fixed table header was a thing for over a dekade. It still requires a considerable amount ot black magic.
Years ago I was working on a project and at this time chrome lacked the print preview and options dialog. Before developers released this feature, chrome got WebGL, WebSockets and whatnot, but printing was still waiting.
Firefox had an insanely useful plugin jsPrintSetup which no longer works. None of the browsers allows you to do some customizations to the page before printing something (like printing a barcode to a specialized label printer and the rest of the page on you regular one, like we did this with the old version of FF, all this with a single button click)
Recently I was offered to work on a project that was using Telerik's components, which by far are the biggest monstrosity I've ever met and surprisingly to me people are happily using them, and even more surprising to me users are patiently waiting for the page to appear and start working...
I can keep going on and on...

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
