The browser isn't exposing it to websites. It's simply due to the fact of playing media that it's lowering the minimum timer resolution on Windows. In the past it would also do this when just scrolling among other things if I remember correctly, I'm not sure if it still does this. Firefox uses a different method that doesn't require lowering the minimum timer resolution. Either way the global behavior of this is no longer true on modern Windows 10/11 machines (as of Windows 10 2004) as each process must now call timeBeginPeriod if it wants increased timer resolution:
