Sure, the WebUSB feature set is nice. Care to address any of the points made in the article? There's a reason why security and features are in constant tension; it doesn't really work to just ignore security when it happens to be features that you want. You'd better hope that your niche hardware isn't reprogrammable via USB to become an ethernet device that snoops all of your network traffic and injects attacks. It's pretty safe to assume that there is no such attack now. But if it ever happens at any point in the future, then either you'll get hacked, or your device will be blocked and the configuration app will stop working.
