I don't think it's terrifying, personally, but it strikes me as a little tone-deaf of Google to use the example of giving a website access to your heart rate monitor [1] which is an demo also linked in this thread. A lot of people assume that any new feature in the javascript API will get used in ad-tech and they aren't often proven wrong with that assumption. I find it unsettling to think about advertisers gaining access to biometric data through the web. On the other hand it's also something that lowers the barrier-of-entry to BLE hacking to something that people like me can do.
