While linking is the foundation of the web, I would say that the web has grown far beyond its foundations. Nowadays, web technologies are not just a way to share a set of linked documents. They're a platform for app development. The browser is starting to resemble a miniature operating system. Thus the demands for "more permissions, more low-level APIs." You may feel philosophically that this is the wrong direction for the web, but many folks (myself included) are excited about it.

Instead of just "going beyond" foundation, it would be much more sensible approach to expand it, i.e. change what's possible with core HTML/HTTP.
