I don't think because an activity won't work on all platforms and all
versions we should give up on making it work on as many as possible. The
Javascript ecosystem has always showed adaptability to all kind of web
platform incompatibilities, often at a much lower level than a webcam API.
There are several ways to deal with the incompatibilities, bundling
libraries being one of the tools available.

IMO making activities more cross platform that they are currently is one of
the main reason to go for an HTML toolkit. I think it should be a goal for
every activity to work in a plain web browser, even if with reduced
functionality.
