I don't think that we should be terribly worried about what the
browser API does or does not do.

The main consumer of the browser API is the Gaia system app. The
system app is for most intents end purposes part of Gecko. And it is
absolutely part of the UA. Som from this point of view the Browser API
is no different from an internal Gecko API like
nsIWebProgressListener.

We do also expose the browser API to signed 3rd party content. But it
has relatively few consumers and thanks to the signing if we need to
deprecate all or parts of the API we can reach out to all those
consumers and work out a deprecation plan.
