has() was a forgiving selector. After an issue was reported that the forgiving nature conflicts with jQuery when :has() contains a complex selector, the W3C landed on a resolution to make :has() an “unforgiving” selector just a few weeks ago.
:is() and :where() are still forgiving - meaning that it evaluates each selector in its list individually, ignoring what's invalid.
:has() will now ignore the entire list if one selector is invalid.
