Honestly, I kinda hate the idea of a browser being able to access hardware devices.

That’s why no one outside Google wants. Apple said no. Firefox said no. There’s a reason. WebRTC is shit. It leaks too much just for a small convenience.
And yeah, browsers don’t need my USB ports thanks.
This move was what hurt VIA as they moved to the API exclusively. So the only native apps are just electron wrappers 🤷♂️

WebRTC and WebUSB are different things. RTC doesn’t provide direct port access, afaik.

Both are shit and developed by the same foundation. Browsers are not meant to negotiate its hardware. Period. This world will never be ready for that.
