This is intentional, there are a number of side channel attacks that have used JavaScript hi-res time to steal data from outside the browser sandbox.
Browsers have intentionally added jitter and dropped precision from timers to mitigate similar attacks in the future.
But even with these changes the resolution is probably good enough for most audio work.
