Standardization is sometimes influenced by what a single vendor
implemented proactively, but usually the process works
differently—note, for example, the W3C standardization process:
https://www.w3.org/2019/Process-20190301/. I have no recent
information on `x-autocompletetype` and any standardization efforts
around it, however you get this validator message because it’s not yet
part of the HTML standard, and as it has not been done in a way that
would be otherwise compliant. The validator seems to respond
correctly.
