But it is well known Apple and Mozilla dislike the W3C as an organization and both consider DOM Level 3 Core to be obsolete, opting instead to use the WHATWG living standard instead, which is so vague they can implement a lot without explanation.

— I think its not very specified on the DOM Level 3 Core Document what happens with the return value of the node-inserting operations, so they delegated that part to the implementation. I don't think Mozilla or Apple failed to stick on the document.
Besides that, DocumentFragment is an interface of Node so its technically a Node itself. In this thinking I would return the empty DocumentFragment because its a Node.

— The W3C IDL Definition for DocumentFragment is

interface DocumentFragment : Node {

— What else would it be bound to 🤔

— Well, arrow functions don't have their own this, while normal functions do, right?

— Correct
