Even Google's proposed standard includes a button to turn it off if you don't want it. You can just refuse to use websites that use the feature, like you can with EME.
That works until you are forced to interact with a website that only works with it, either by work or school.
Yes, but that hasn't stopped anyone before. There are tons of exam systems where you need to install invasive software, for both school and professional training, with some random low-wage worker on the other side of the world peering through your webcam while you use it.
