"Using an internet tool to access local resources is using the wrong tool for the job." Browser technology stopped being internet tech only quite a while ago. It might not have been the best idea, but that's where we are. So my first choice would nowdays also be webusb if possible.

  No I am not forced to use it, but since the web is my usual tech stack, I likely will just use that, if I ever have to connect to a USB device.

    If you write code ok, but what about third party apps. Supply chain attacks are quite common.
