It would be unfortunate to remove this instead of working towards enabling and
shipping it -- pointer lock is one of the features that we had significant
demand for in the web games space. Any game (or other content) that wants to
implement "mouse look" functionality needs it. This is why we (Mozilla)
expanded it from being available in full screen only to being available in just
regular elements as well, as did Chrome.
