However, I can take your "simple" compressor and swap it out of my audio chain for a more complex one if I need to.

I can't do that for the Web Audio API. That's really what everybody is complaining about.

The problem is that if your use case only covers 95% and I use 10 pieces, I am practically guaranteed to have a mismatch for multiple pieces--and I can't escape.

If you have 95% coverage, and you have 10 separate random pieces, you actually have a 40% chance of failure.
I can't tell if your being pedantic because you agree with the parent, or because you missed their point entirely
