No, WebRTC and codecs do support low bitrates. Someone got lazy coding the client.

Given that I don't know anything about this domain, in my experience "supports" doesn't necessarily mean "supports well" or "there is no technical reason the browser stack slows this down, it's only the client's fault" or "would have been much easier to support in another stack without going through all this shit".

So I'm still not convinced.
