Here are a couple of arguments from WMF in favor of SuperProtect, which was implemented to prevent local users from removing MediaViewer.
It's interesting that this topic came up, as there was a bug in MediaViewer that disturbed me so much I've started working on a patch a month ago. The bug is no longer an issue in most cases, but I'm still working on some improvements.
It seems to me that users still could disable MediaViewer with the same one line of javascript as used in Common.js. To be exact about SP, what I've seen is it was implemented to prevent local admins (specifically one former German admin) from removing MW project-wide for all editors *and readers*. I assume the "Disable MediaViewer" option, which allows every user to decide for themselves comfortably, wasn't implemented back then... How long before that feature was added?
