One that stood out was the audio element being able to read the volume, but not set it. Apple has always had the stance that user preferences like this should only directly be changed by the user, not by an application. There are 2 convenient buttons on the side of my iPhone, there is no need for any website to ever be able to mess with my volume settings.

The website would not be able to mess with your volume settings. The implication of this choice by apple is that you cannot play two sounds at different levels, for example.
