I consider the mitigation of fingerprinting risk to be secondary to usability, but here there is a clear win for fingerprinting resilience and no substantial loss of function for applications. Legitimate ones anyhow. You can stipulate your requirements, the browser asks the user, you get access to media...or not. Simple. The question is what happened when none of the devices meet the constraints. Do you pop a dialog up to the user that says "Hey, your web page wanted to something that they can not have. Wait some random amount of time before deciding to click OK to dismiss this dialog".
