Interesting article which reinforces my decision to never engage with web development in any manner other than throwing WASM paint on a Canvas.

> But a purpose-built game framework like Unity would have polyfill to protect you from more of these layout and audio problems

Unity doesn't polyfill, it just relies on WASM for everything which results in significantly more consistent behaviour provided your browser supports WASM to begin with.

Unity has been used for non-game purposes successfully, and there are also other WASM-compatible frameworks specifically targeting non-game GUI use cases.
