I don't think people use block/retro graphics because they think the browser can't handle it. I think they do it because they are indies and they're doing what they can to get their game out there.

I know DRM is the anti-Christ, but protecting your assets is not something the AAAs will be giving up. (I don't expect this will ever happen, though.) Sound. My lord, why does sound suck so badly in browsers? Controls. You can't capture the mouse and use it for FPSs, etc. Apparently there are gamepad libraries for JS, but I haven't tried them. Input in general is just pretty primitive.
