It's nice to be able to flash something without having to give some random software access to your computer, or having to build three different versions of a device flasher for each major OS. It's boosted adoption of ESPHome devices.

Except that you are giving some random software access to your computer, and it's not even software you can decided when to install and update.

When did I do that? WebUSB gives a website access to a specific USB device, not my entire computer.
