I've seen similar posts when Apple announced that there won't be Flash on mobile Safari. And I agree with Chrome team decision to force passive on document level listeners.

Also, note that not many people complained about "blocking video/audio autoplay on mobile browsers", because it's good for users.

BUT:

- Passive event listener detection is horrible and it baffles me that they start thinking about proper way only now.

- The announcement of this breaking change was quite silent. Chrome has so many influencers on social media, but almost no one shared/explained this change properly.
