WebCrypto is a shitshow in large part because the people at its wheel perceive a need for JavaScript programmers to make decisions about what cipher mode to use.

In any case as a security researcher I don't know what you're complaining about, you're getting a guaranteed lifetime supply of material for future presentations at Defcon/Black Hat/etc). Peter.
