Presumably battle tested API gave Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ). Zoom is already available from the start of MediaStream-ImageCapture API. Pan and Tilt are the recent additions and hence this issue

depends on camera

You can query the range. Different camera have different ranges. For example electronic Pan/Tilt do not pan more than 10 degrees.

Roll isn't commonly available in consumer webcams. Even though Pan/Tilt may be niche, we felt that Roll is even more niche.
