C/C++ implemented custom protocols, no webrtc... What explains these security and compatibility compromises?

The first commit was in late 2004, which was well before WebRTC was a thing.

Jami uses standard protocols like TLS, x509, SIP, SRTP..

It's actually much more standard-compliant than most alternatives.

I'd guess that it predates webrtc.

Aside from the anachronism, didn't WebRTC itself have security issues?
