What will be curious about WebGPU getting wider Android deployment is if it results in reducing the effect of variation in the drivers, which very much remain a headache. For example, WebGL type API implementations have had a somewhat flexible idea about data sizes and layout which due to the nature of WebGPU are much less acceptable there. One of the big wins of Vulkan has been that it has levelled the playing field somewhat and poor drivers have less of an impact. I think a lot of people will be disappointed by what proportion of devices currently in the wild actually successfully make this jump because it is under appreciated the extent to which shortcuts have been taken. I look forward to the day I never have to think about the Mali GLSL compiler ever again.
