Comment:

 Given the data shown on [https://caniuse.com/?search=-webkit-appearance
 Can I Use], I'm inclined to say these should not be removed. On this page,
 it's noted that all versions of Safari on desktop and on iOS require the
 `-webkit-` prefix for the `appearance` property to allow for partial
 support.

 Edge, Chrome (`-webkit-` prefix), and Firefox (`-moz-` prefix) are no
 longer required for the `appearance` property in the
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/package.json#L15 versions
 supported by today's versions of WordPress].

 The linked developer documentation above now includes the following
 clarification:

 > The differences are smaller in the newest browsers.

 Browsers seem to have made the behavior of this property more consistent.
 So I'm not sure this is really an issue worth addressing anymore. I'm
 suggesting this one is a `close`, but would still like someone with more
 experience using the property to weigh in.
