> does anyone know why this is ”native” API and not just a generic image processing script Consider the following facts: 1. This was designed by Google 2.

Chrome gets a shape detection API for detecting barcodes, faces and text https://web.dev/shape-detection/ https://web.dev/shape-detection/ Of course, it's a matter of perspective whether you want to see this as lovers of the free web helping webapps to feature parity with native apps; or Google churning out yet another low-effort standard that's easy for them and difficult for all their competitors.
