Re: [mediacapture-main] Prompt user to choose unless constraints reduce to 1. (#644)

If this does what the title says, I'm against it.

Prompting the user to choose when the user has a stored permission to access all the devices in the list will lead to completely pointless prompting - more user annoyance, and no added security benefit. The platform should pick the best device in this case.

If there is a single device with permission and 1 or more devices with no permission, I could see an argument for prompting the user to choose.

Chrome currently uses the model of "either you have permission to all cameras or none". I don't want to make the spec attempt to outlaw that model.
