ES modules work natively in browsers, which are the slow-moving ships of the ecosystem. Changing course for them is completely unrealistic.

There’s a billion browser clients out there. That ensures that whatever API they ship, an increasing amount of code will be written directly against it. Everybody else just needs to adapt or be seen as incompatible with the baseline of JavaScript.
