Disclaimer: have never used or read that far into polymer.
Taking a look at an excerpt from the feature overview page:
"The Polymer library provides a set of features for creating custom elements. These features are designed to make it easier and faster to make custom elements that work like standard DOM elements."
It sounds to me like it just enhances ease of development and code reusability.
If i'm wrong, somebody, please let me know.

Their aim is to not be needed one day, it's just a lot of polyfills making Custom Elements work across all browsers cough not IE cough.
Of course, there are also a few tweaks and changes to make easier for developers that aren't in the platform but not too many.
