Specificationhttps://github.com/w3c/webcodecs/issues/508

Summary
premultiplyAlpha tells ImageDecoder to multiply the alpha channel into the
RGB channels of decoded images. It was added to mirror the capabilities of
ImageBitmapOptions, but in retrospect doesn't make sense.

Feature has no observable effects in primary use cases (drawing), but may
constrain implementations in suboptimal ways. E.g., requiring YUV be
converted to RGB. See https://github.com/w3c/webcodecs/issues/508 for a
more detailed description. Per consensus of WebCodecs spec editors and lack
of usage (0.000000339% - 0.00000687% of page loads per a UseCounter in
M105), we propose deprecating and removing this feature starting with M108.

Risks
It's possible that there exists some client which was accessing raw pixel
data in JavaScript may observe that the alpha channel is no longer
premultiplied into RGB channels. Clients wishing for this functionality can
either do the multiply themselves or use createImageBitmap() to do this.

Interoperability and Compatibility



*Gecko*: Positive Firefox co-editor supports removal.

*WebKit*: No signal

*Web developers*: No signals

*Other signals*: Microsoft co-editor supports removal.

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or
interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues
in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may
introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of
the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
