The answer is that, in our experience, applications that break with this type of change are the ones that are hard to think about in advance. We normally find out after rolling out the change. For example, when we implemented the requirement to wait for focus in getUserMedia() we thought nothing would break, and shortly after we started rolling out the change we received reports from some kiosk-like environments that broke because focus was impossible to obtain for those applications.

IMO, the bar for changing a definition that has been in place for years both in spec and implementations should be very high, even if the proposed change is obviously better.
