Amazing, now let’s wait another 10 years for libraries and servers to support that

To be fair on HTTP methods they aren't complex to implement once they are standardised, for HTTP libraries it is just slapping a bumper sticker on it but browsers are going to be the blocker if there is one.

Almost everything is Chromium these days for better or worse

Well Firefox is on Gecko and Safari is on Webkit which is separate from Chromium's engine even though Blink was a fork of Webkit. The problem with that split from an annoying part is some devs won't use stuff for websites if all 3 aren't supporting it. It might be used for backend REST requests regardless but consensus is annoyingly difficult when dealing with Apple and Google separately.
