They also do it depending on who wins internal turf wars. When Chrome/ChromeOS wins, we get a hundred hardware APIs.

When ads win (they always win) we get FLOC and other bullcrap.

I don't think there would be demand for extraneous web APIs if the native ones were a good enough replacement. Kinda feels like the fault of OEMs for driving people to the web for good content.

All web APIs are built on the corresponding native APIs - there's no secret bypass mechanism.
