Exactly. Some people has argued that getting a different GUI is bad,
but this is not about telephony world in which each person has a
phone. This is about communicating with different services each one
providing different features and capabilities so it does not make
sense at all to share the same GUI for RTCweb communication with a
second website.

Agreed.
