The security concern isn't the API itself — it's the default-on expectation that Chrome created. Firefox's model of "opt-in via extension" gives power users what they need without expanding the attack surface for everyone else.

  I've used WebUSB for flashing keyboard firmware and it's genuinely better than downloading random executables from GitHub.
  The permission model is more transparent than a native app that silently gets full USB access.
