Well, sure, Opera probably cares whether they have a feature that
Tim Berners-Lee claims is an integral part of the HTML standard,
but hasn't yet been implemented by any of their competitors:

Over 150 people have told me, using a web-based endorsement form,
that they want the elegant symmetry that general device input and
upload would provide. Traditionally, helper applications for
browsers have handled output presentation. The same facilities can
be used for input from any number of sources and uploaded using
standard form submission. This will enable interoperability that
closed cartels can not, with much greater customer approval.
Anyone whose life would be enriched by ease in implementing and
performing media upload, be it audio, video, images, text editor
files, or even raw serial input should care, even if they do not at
present. One of the strongest supporters is a Professor of
Linguistics at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, who probably
means a lot of potential sales, given the number of cadets that he
is responsible for teaching spoken languages to.
