The author still doesn't have total control. Some user agents allow the user to
bring up a list of media on the page. From there the user can control them,
whether or not a controls attribute is present. Some user agents allow a 'web
console' for a page to be displayed allow the user to access the media element
and control it via the DOM. At what point do you choose to stop the user from
controlling the software running on their machine?
