Not only Safari is unable to show basic elements (less than Gnome Web which is Webkit based too), there's no single proper tool to export the fricking SVG to GIF. I've never wanted to flip a table that much in my life.

Safari was also late to implement AV1 video support. Based on caniuse website, only MS Edge was later, though you could install an extension to get it running.
Oh, and when I say "support", I mean you'd have to buy a new device.
Edit: Chrome since v. 70 (2018-10-16), Firefox fully since v. 67 (2019-05-21), Firefox partially since v. 55 (2017-08-08) whatever "Not supported by default, but can be enabled" means, Safari since v. 17 on newer devices (2023-09-26)

Apple was very late to add AV1 support to their ecosystem in general. As you state, support for hardware decoding was only added with the M3/A17 Pro chips in 2023. There's still no AV1 hardware encoder on any of Apple's chips.
I think they were waiting on H.266 and whether it succeeds for too long, they were/are big on H.265 (and all the other HEVC-related stuff like HEIC) so that'd make sense from that perspective.
How many trillions apple has again???
