Re: [mediacapture-main] Add semantics choice to getUserMedia() for in-browser picker. (#667)

Agree. 

Not an issue at Firefox or Nightly.

Perhaps Chromium authors will listen to you. 

Have been asking for this feature for some time in various ways, too many to list here, e.g., https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1032815; https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=865799;  for reasoning at  Chrome, Chromium see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1013881#c9. 

Eventually decided to stop asking at specifications or implementers and create code that achieves the expected result.
