I think that’s kinda misleading, isn’t it? You make it sound like it’s making good progress towards standardisation. They asked for feedback from other browser vendors, everybody said no, and they are shipping it anyway. Is “incubation happened, now on to origin trials before standardisation” really a suitable summary of that?

That's exactly how google would describe it with some missing context added.

It cannot be a standard until two browsers ship the API.

  Technically, it’s not two browsers shipping it, it’s two independent implementations. Otherwise everything that Google ships as part of Blink would become a standard as soon as any one of the other Blink-based browsers (e.g. Edge) includes it.

  lol. As long as a browser with Chrome's market share ships it, it will be used.
  Whether it's an official standard by some criteria doesn't matter.
