> In my opinion, this is not too different from the V8 centric features that have been added to the protocol. Those are changes that benefit only one port — Chromium — and add maintenance cost to the project as a whole. Your port does maintain those parts, but the burden is mostly on other ports to make them work for JSC.

I don't think this analogy applies. In case of V8 vs JSC:
- Both front-end and backend were open source, belonging to WebKit
- We were on the best-effort path wrt having JSC supported
- Most of the features are now supported in JSC

In this case, we are talking about:
- Proprietary front-end putting maintenance cost on the WebKit
- No intention to contribute front-end to WebKit
- No clear plan for these features to be ever supported in WebKit inspector
