There is a process by which functionality is pushed outward from the core to the edge. And there is another process by which functionality is pushed back from he edge to the core.

For example, people did things in JS over and over and over again and some off those things became browser functionality, and some of them became CSS functionality, and some prompted server and browser changes.

Yes, you are right, the process is slow. But when software has a way for people to customize it, that customization is a very egalitarian kind of feature discovery.
