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.
