Yeah, not a web dev myself, but this seems kind of like a new <blink> tag: very rarely makes for a better user experience, but tempting for sites to use.
Unfortunately, browsers have a long history of giving sites the power to do things I probably don't want, like opening new windows, moving windows to the back, opening alerts that are implemented as modal dialogs (which block all tabs, even unrelated ones), and disabling context menus.
I guess they are trying to provide a rich set of capabilities to allow web devs to make neat things, but from my perspective as an end user, they're all about could, not about should.
