It's too late for the web app/page ecosystem to be fixed, and adding more access just makes it worse. Most web stuff is so bloated with tracking and indirect third-party software installation that it's difficult for even the creator of a page/app to figure out what code gets run (see e.g. [1], scroll down to "Fad Ads"). There are still social norms for what native programs should do -- tracking and automatic forced update are frowned upon -- and developers who do these things are shunned. The browser has become a sandbox for hostile actors, and it seems like a terrible idea to make that sandbox larger.
