Would that provide a way to work around intentional limitations, and to make user experience inconsistent?

Carefully designed websites can set playsInline to false or true as desired.
Some websites forgot to include playsInline and do not work on iOS. This is not intentional, just the fact that this is specific to Safari on iOS.

We could go with Quirks.
In the long run though, it seems better and simpler to align with other browsers, and progressively deprecate playsInline. Hence this patch.
