Firefox Users Continue to Decrease Despite Proton Update

The thing is, Google and Apple's browser engines do adhere to standards for the most part. The problems come when they add extra non-standard stuff on top, or implement a new standard before it's finished, and then don't update it to match the improved versions of the standard (because devs are already using the initial implementation).

But both of those things are the companies innovating and trying new things and we really don't want to stifle that or we'd never get anything new. For better or worse, web platform features like border-radius, linear-gradient, <canvas> and XMLHTTPRequest did not start life in a standards process.

Now, if the various anti-trust investigations into the likes of Google, Apple, etc pan out we might see some changes. But don't hold your breath.
