Do H.264 and WebRTC have different use cases? Or do they compete directly?

Let's say you want to video chat with someone using only web browsers, you would establish a direct peer-to-peer connection with WebRTC and then you could stream H.264 video to each other. I'd say WebRTC and H.264 compliment each other. However, the shared stream or data need not be H.264.
