Weird Backdrop Filter

What seems to be a WebKit bug with backdrop-filter

a red and blue box with a blurred background above text on a cyan background. the heading readers "weird backdrop filter", while text under the boxes repeat "position absolute text" over and over.
if you aren't in webdev, you won't have any idea what this is. even if you are, this picture just looks like a mess
For some reason, a backdrop filter makes an element force its children into itself. No idea why.
This is somewhat of an old page, despite the date on this page. I just haven't listed it anywhere. So, it's been a while since I've made this, and I don't remember the conclusion I came to. Take this with a grain of salt, but from what I remember, it's a WebKit bug, which Firefox then emulated for compatibility with pages. So we ain't getting this fixed any time soon.
If you have no idea what is going on here, it's okay; just learn webdev for ~6 months. Simple.
