There are 105 bugs open for Media Viewer. To my mind that is not a product
that is ready to be delivered to 500,000,000 users, delivering 52.5
billion bugs! (And that's just the ones we know about!)
But even if it was, the fact that a project community has asked for it to
be opt-in should be respected by the developers. The idea that software
developers control the roll-out of their own software is "no way to develop
software" User acceptance testing was invented, what, 50 or 60 years ago?

This is a false dilemma. The WMF does not have any plans to stop developing
desktop features. On the contrary, the VisualEditor team recently changed
scope to be the Editing team in part so that the scope of their team also
included maintaining the wikitext editor on desktop.
