Webm supports multiple audio and subtitle tracks inside its RIFF container structure, why the hell arent browsers supporting it???

I never used one tbh. Last time I used something WebGL was when its tech demo was released.
Of course all of these have uses, that's why they exist. I just find these use cases very rare/exotic compared to viewing a video with subs.
A lot of people play online games. They aren't exactly rare.
Something that is actually a lot less used (and probably a lot of effort to maintain as well) is webxr. It's a cool technology but not very useful right now (although I could imagine it becoming more important in the future)
The google maps globe view (and google earth) uses WebGL. I use that quite often.
