As much as the facts you've listed are generally accepted, there's grey areas between the "Browser crypto is good" and "browser crypto is bad" that are worth considering.
I'm working on a form submission that I know is going to be used by a lot of enterprise clients, in many cases with passive MiTM SSL devices.
Browser based crypto can prevent the contents of that form leaking to a passive firewall admin, and the very real issues you've raised don't apply to the threat I'm interested in resolving.
Now if I had a marketing team go off and call it "military grade end to end encryption" we'd have a problem, but I won't be letting that happen.
