And the HTML5 spec states UAs "should" display the video control when scripting
is disabled, yet only one UA does. So much for "should".

There is no reason not to provide a facility to choose tracks if the control is
displayed. Well, unless there's a particular reason to deliberately disable
video accessibility. Is there a reason to deliberately disable video
accessibility? 

What is one good use case for not ensuring this capability?
