Did you even read my question? Let me help you:

Can you tell me which standards it did not at least support as well as it's
competitors at the time it was released?

Obviously I cannot do that.
Neither can I prove the existence or divinity or not of Jesus.
However, I can prove that IE is inferior now and that Jesus does not exist now in the same way as I, you, and my coffee cup do.

It's only now that matters. It doesn't really matter whether IE was superior or not in 2001 - I believe it may have been superior in 1998 - but it is most definitely inferior now, and that's very important.
