When don't we just use jack without pulse audio, most programs support it (VLC,MPV).

Firefox doesn't. They dropped all other audio systems except for pulse! Highly annoying.

This is just my own experience, but sound works fine for me with just Alsa (no pulseaudio or apulse). Although even the Arch Wiki [1] says differently.

It is likely that you have some kind of pulse bridge running without being aware of it. For instance Carla will do that without telling you about it.
