@velartrill I used to think that way, and in a perfect world, I still would; but the web is the only open, free, corporate-unencumbered runtime we have; providing USB-support means providing one fewer opportunities for someone to feel compelled to write a native app.

@velartrill yeah, sorry, that wasn't particularly clear: what I really meant was, you can write a webapp without forking over 30% to Apple/Google; or having to go through their app-store approval process

@mvp "walled gardens prevent us from distributing our own binaries, therefore it's good for web pages to be able to access your USB bus" is one hell of a take. maybe the walled gardens are the actual problem, hmm?
