Great questions! Certainly was hoping to get more eyes on this!

Not sure where a good spot to document this is, but maybe right in the
template is okay? That way users will also know the rationale :)

Needed only on Android and is needed (crazily) to not break TalkBack

Correct. My thinking here is that both FFOS and Chrome Apps both decided
that this is a good policy for packaged apps with access to "dangerous"
APIs, and so it would make a good default for us as well.
