With ESPHome[1] I could edit, compile and up upload firmware to my ESP device directly in my browser without installing any tools.
I had planned on using VSCode, but I got some extension conflicts due to some other extension (Platform.io IIRC).
I had the similar reaction when first reading about WebUSB as you, but after seeing how smooth it was, I admit I thought it was pretty darn neat. It drastically lowers the barrier of entry for those who aren't that technical.
