Based mostly on their refusal to support WEBM videos. Apple has really lost their way.

Microsoft and Apple and Adobe are committed to a "paywall" business model.

But I don't use anything Microsoft, Apple, or Adobe "closed source" on my personal computer.

If someone doesn't want me to see their stuff on the internet, then that's fine with me.

I'm probably not buying what they are selling anyways.

HTML 5.0 is only a Candidate Recommendation, that was submitted on April 29, 2014.
It will not be a standard until later this year. And it can change at any time.

IE 11 was released last October, 2013.

I'd say a score of 376 is pretty damn good for supporting something that was pushed to candidate recommendation 7 months later. IE 12 is due to be released in the next two months, as is Safari 8. I expect both browsers to be in the 500+ range. On the other hand, FireFox, and Chrome have a new release that gets pushed each month (no matter how much shit breaks with its backwards compatibility). Their scores have no excuse for being low.

If IE 12 HTML 5.0 compatibility score comes out on top of Chrome 35 (or 40, or 60), I'm not expecting anyone to sing in praise... but it sure would be nice to see oranges compared to oranges.

BTW - HTML 5.1 is already in Draft...when should we start testing Netscape 3 against it?
