How many Chromium based browsers are out there and how many of those still have the direct Write option?Because other browsers don't CARE. They have bigger teams, but are more committed to other features and just plain don't care about DirectWrite and see no problem with it being removed.
It's obviously not a simple thing to implement or many browsers would have it. Vivaldi, Opera, Brave and others have huge amounts more resources compared to Cent, and yet not one of them is able to keep Direct Write, even after it being requested multiple times. Ask yourself why.
My guess would be this has become a difficult thing to keep adding and it gets harder with every new Chromium version. Sooner or later it will probably reach a point where it's just not possible anymore, volunteers or not.
Meanwhile, Cent has a team of LITERALLY THREE PEOPLE. So yeah, methinks all the delays correlate directly to having too few people bearing the load of building and updating a browser.
