We disagree, that is fine.

Sure, the amount of streaming video is far bigger than any webrtc traffic now,
and it will be like that maybe forever. What I am saying is that it takes a lot
more effort to beat the current de facto codecs that are used for streaming and
entertainment video. The path to success is easier for the interactive video.
For entertainment video, people pay for quality, they may also pay for webrtc
services but it will be much less $.

Fair enough, but then I have to say that I disagree on some of the reqs
mentioned in the sections I suggested for removal. Most of them are not even
reqs but just a collection of what is in the market today. Obviously if those
sections are to stay, they need quite a bit work.
