Or maybe your absolutist bullshit is, in fact, bullshit, and there's nuance to be had that explains the discrepancy you observe.

In this case, one nuance is the fact that camera and microphone permissions are very very often necessary in the browser for video chats. Y'know, exactly the kind of thing that grandma might want to do with her grandkids on a regular basis.





But it is dangerous, Tim from Apple can't protect your grandma , she should only speak with their nephews using Apple approved applications , preferably the built in iApps, do you really want grandma to be scammed? Tium needs to remove microphone and camera support in browsers or else the hypocrisy is to obvious... or we can all be mature here and stop pretending that the restrictions are for security of your grandma.
