IT professional, yes; at 66 years of age, perhaps not quite too young !
The reason I have never had occasion to embed MIDI files in web pages
is simply that I have never worked with anyone who required MIDI. I
have used it for my own purposes, but those are unrelated to the web.

It is not you who has the need for OGG but the browser ! 50% of
browsers (approx) support MP3, and 50% (approx) support OGG. Some
support both, I believe, but as you have to cater for all possibilities,
it is best to offer both and allow the browser to choose which
(which it does entirely automatically).

I've never tried to supress it, but I am reasonably certain
it is possible. In the example <audio> file to which I sent
the link, the <audio> tag reads :

<audio controls autoplay onended = "Done ()" onplay = "Play ()" id="audio">

The presence of the "controls" attribute causes the controls to
appear; in its absence, they would not appear.

On its way.
