>From our point-of-view, this is not a bug. This is a policy decision. That websites go out of their way to break picture-in-picture mode is not a good reason to make breaking picture-in-picture mode _easier_. And that's what the `disablePictureInPicture` argument does: it breaks user's use of picture-in-picture mode.

> developers using your system have a better DX instead.

Please take a look at the W3C's "priority of constituencies", and note when they say "authors", they're speaking of "page authors"/"developers": <https://www.w3.org/TR/html-design-principles/#priority-of-constituencies>

> In case of conflict, consider users over authors over implementors over specifiers over theoretical purity. In other words costs or difficulties to the user should be given more weight than costs to authors;

This is a conflict between users and developers, and we will give the users' experience more weight than developers' experience.
