Kodi 19 will come, eventually. Our tactics have changed slightly, as you may have noticed on the Kodi 18 minor version releases.
Plenty of add-on devs wait until the next stable release is out, it happens a lot with skins. But now with Python 3 for Kodi 19, that all might be delayed even longer.
Add to the fact that the Kodi team has lost various team members in the last two years which are hard to replace (one has significantly reduced his workload just a week ago), so certain things will go at a slower pace.
The overall challenge for any Kodi add-on is, is that it needs to work (preferably) on every platform that Kodi itself runs on. Personally I don't know what the current status is of the internal browser.
Opening up a few cans of qualified and enthousiastic Kodi developers would be nice for starters.
