>Taking it as far as saying that they need new features just to serve ads, wow.

I'm agreeing with the GP comment - and that forcing updates on users that don't actually need to happen is for tracking/ad related purposes.

Few sites need the new features and many are abused for tracking/ads - which is largely why the Battery API was removed. It wasn't being used for its intended purposes.
