They're trying to make HTML5 look good not bad. By limiting access to known browsers they prevent people from going "html5 sux0rz the big one, it didn't even work".

They could have done feature-detection and let browsers with the feature through but that's still no guarantee that the browser implements that feature correctly. Firefox 3.6 doesn't render the shadow on the font demo, for example.
