Re: [whatwg/streams] Add URL.createObjectURL(stream) support (#480)

> What would be the difference of just doing URL.createObjectURL(response) when a Service worker can construct there own response with a ReadableStream and do just the same thing?

I've actually done this hack, it's not pleasant and isn't really what service workers were designed for. Also, you can't create libraries and an ecosystem on top of ServiceWorkers because they can't be loaded dynamically by any ol' code, they have to be installed in a special way which limits their utility. There are some good reasons for them to be done this way, I'm not trying to denigrate them, but we can't rely on them for something like this.
