- Safari doesn't yet support PointerEvent.getCoalescedEvents(), so we can't
ask for their position on secure/non-secure context differences:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PointerEvent/getCoalescedEvents#browser_compatibility

- Here is a PEWG discussion started by @gsnedders from WebKit (I couldn't
find any other related discussion Safari participated in):

Unfortunately we can't put this change behind a flag because Blink does not
allow making [SecureContext] conditional.  I think it was supported in the
past because "Blink IDL Extended Attributes" documentation still mentions
[SecureContext=flag] as non-standard, but it doesn't even compile!
