Summary

The Pointer Events Working Group made PointerEvent.getCoalescedEvents() restricted to secure contexts 4+ years ago, which removed the API from insecure contexts. Chrome originally shipped the old behavior and didn't follow the spec change immediately because of compat concerns. We are now removing it from insecure contexts because Chrome usage in insecure contexts turned out to be very low.
