WebApps charter explicitly states that, "In order to advance to Candidate Recommendation and to add features after reaching Candidate Recommendation, each feature is expected to be supported by at least two implementations, which may be judged by factors including existing implementations, expressions of interest, and lack of opposition.”

I feel obligated to point out you are referencing and quoting the old obsoleted WebApps WG charter.
The current WebApps WG charter [2], effective 21 February 2024, does not include such text, but states:
"In order to advance to Proposed Recommendation, each normative specification is expected to have at least two independent interoperable implementations of every feature defined in the specification, where interoperability can be verified by passing open test suites, and two or more implementations interoperating with each other. In order to advance to Proposed Recommendation, each normative specification must have an open test suite of every feature defined in the specification."
This CfC was about advancing to Candidate Recommendation, not Proposed Recommendation.
