I'd say both are the culprit. Adhering to W3C standards doesn't mean that the browser will render it correctly *cough*IE6, 7, 8 or 9*cough* - and that makes for a rather limited site.

Problem is, nobody ever adheres to the standards.
Amen brother.

For some reason, big companies always produce pages that depend on features specific to Microsoft's browser, or Google's browser, or use some goofy plugin.
Or their interpretation of JavaScript.

There's always a race to add dependencies on the newest, least-supported, and most broken features as well. It kinda drives me nuts...
Other end of the spectrum, folks that want an utterly bland ****ing Internet with websites that are nothing but text and actually increase cognitive load and induce choice paralysis due to everything being structured as an engineer would like it, but not the layman.

There's a fine mix to be found; the people are just yelling for radically different things. In the least, the websites should gracefully degrade to something that works for the minimum. Somehow that's rarely the case as well.

Oh well... this indecision keeps me busy and employed.
