Do you have a reasonable example of why a library that would call location or history?

All I can think of is "using query string as getenv() for random debug hacks" or "using history as a hack to synchronously reach the structured clone algorithm", neither of which a library should do (but both easily emulatable).

So the big idea is "simulate user keypresses and mouse events", and it works if the user answers "yes" to the prompt "Program X wants to control other programs on this computer".

To be fair, Steam games request that permission, so users may be trained to accept it.
