I think it’s time to remove the feature flag. Are there any objections? Is there a port in-tree that’s compiling without this feature?

In general I think we should be more enthusiastic about removing feature flags that are guarding core parts of the Web platform. Web Timing is a great example.
Some others I see:
ENABLE_CANVAS_PATH
ENABLE_CSS_COMPOSITING
ENABLE_CSS_SELECTORS_LEVEL4
ENABLE_FETCH_API
ENABLE_GEOLOCATION
ENABLE_INDEXED_DATABASE
ENABLE_STREAMS_API
ENABLE_CSS_SCROLL_SNAP
ENABLE_WEBGL
ENABLE_WEB_AUDIO
ENABLE_WEB_SOCKETS
