Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 @afercia I politely disagree. 😁

 This specific CSS is completely new for WordPress 5.3. Selects have never
 had their styling explicitly owned by WordPress (aside from occasional
 widths and font sizes.)

 Because this is brand new, it’s important to get it right, to avoid plugin
 authors from needing to support 5.3 specific border-radius styling,
 knowing it’s going to change in 5.4 right away.

 For additional context, I created and maintain a plugin titled
 [https://github.com/stuttter/wp-chosen WP Chosen] that specifically adds
 styling to jQuery Chosen select replacements, and the border radius
 changes during the 5.3 cycle have already been a bear to wrestle with so
 far.

 Leaving this as-is for 5.3 is leaving known new-code that isn’t correct or
 intentional to be everyone else’s problem the next time around.

 If this were a small change to an existing bunch of styling, I think I may
 agree with you about iterating on it later. But because this is new, it
 should be corrected before 5.3 is considered final.
