Which of the project goals does this feature cater to?

I dont know if I understand the question correctly.
My proposal is intended to support Ungoogled Chromium’s stated objectives of minimizing non‑essential integrations and enhancing user autonomy in controlling the browser's behaviour and UI. Control your music and videos are not essential and it can even be intrusive, as since the last update it sometimes appears when no media is played on any tab.
So that is why I think the user should be able to decide if he wants to see / use this icon or not.
