    Blame the browsers for creating the APIs.

      These tools can be used for good applications though. Why punish good developers when bad actors are the problem?

        There is no valid need for this API.

          This API can be used to suggest users take breaks if they’ve been using a site for a long time.

          The exact same API exists in desktop environments; it’s just part of the progressive OS-ification of the web.
