Devil's advocate: If your site is doing something that is worth adding a secturiy flag for, and is unmaintained, it should break.

Such as... playing audio?

These "security flags" could be added for almost anything that might annoy a user; it's not just for security.

Yes, if it's playing audio not initiated by the user.

Good. I'm a user and I don't like being annoyed. It's… annoying.
