To be fair, those "hoops" were "install JazzMIDI", which as far as hoops go, was a pretty non-hoop.

  You'd be surprised how many people consider installing a plug-in for their browser to be an insurmountable obstacle.

    Not really, but if you're taking a class, "install this plugin before we go on" is the same level of insurmountable as "please install vs code so that we're all using the same editor even if you have a different preferred editor".

    Well, since browser extensions can be very harmful, I think it is not a bad thing, that people are hesistant to install one in general.
