Even if we grant the antecedent, I don't think the implication follows.

I think the downsides of Constraints are present for gUM as well as
MediaRecorder, but possibly the use-cases for gUM justify the complexity.

Also, the cost of creating a MediaRecorder you don't want can be made very
low, which makes certain kinds of capability testing easier. That's less
true with gUM.
