To clarify, I care about Netflix, which is why I question giving up on
persisting autoplay for them, which is what allowedToPlay does.
So I have a question. Would it be at all useful to have an explicit way
for a site to ask for a persistent permission grant (as opposed to the
implicit "just try to play something")? Would netflix use that? Or
would they avoid it for the same reasons as their current avoidance of
the prompt? Assuming sites would use it, would we be able to sell other
browsers on such an API?
There's a hard problem here at heart where the APIs are being designed
around the UX, and the different browsers have very different UX goals,
afaict.
