This is a pretty terrible attitude, and is a sad explanation of the churn in the JS community. FE does not work like this and I really wish some of the less professional crowd would stop keep spouting this sort of nonsense.
You start with the damn requirements and then look at how the application may need to be built.
The latest browser APIs are not useful for 99% of the FE work going on out there. Yes, I know it's more satisfying to pretend that it is important, but it really isn't. Just because you can hook something up to a users webcam, or post annoying browser notifications about the latest cat picture a user uploaded doesn't mean you need to or even should.
FE is not a special snowflake. It's no different from most software development (and yes, other, non-FE developers have to figure out cross platform issues as well). If you want to be taken seriously in software development, then stop with the unprofessional attitude and learn how to do something useful for your users, like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_enhancement">Progressive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_enhancement">Progr... enhancement</a>.
