Because we cannot find a generic way of doing this. The viewport is different because we use tiling, thus the actual webview is the size of the contents and we use a view to pan it (only updating visible tiles). There can also be UI components on top.

We tried obtaining this manually and it has just been a pain in the a*** and not proved very flexible.
