Yes, synthetic keypress have multiple problems--which is why we all use
libraries to not have to author them by hand.
Regardless, this doesn't change the fact that
window.URL.createObjectURL(file, true) is more opaque (and for me, harder

window.URL.createObjectURL(file, {oneTimeOnly: true})
or something magical like window.URL.createObjectURL(file).oneTimeOnly()
