they will not ship WEI

I don't really understand how this could work.

The whole outcry around WEI is that most of the web wouldn't work if you didn't have a browser that supported it.

Not shipping WEI would seem tantamount to just discontinuing.

@DogMuffins @amycatgirl, it is not so simple, there are a huge number of third-party pages that also depend on certain Google services, directly or indirectly. This is what happens when you depend on sponsors, because with this you lose your freedom of decision, especially if you make a pact with the devil, sorry, Google.
Mozilla has already suffered this in its own flesh, becoming a Google mascot from an independent platform, even with Google devs working on Firefox.
