Because it makes it more convenient for people to voluntarily add the malware to their home screen and later voluntarily launch it? Sorry, not seeing the malware connection. There's no extra permissions granted here. BTW I agree Google should do more to improve the security model of extensions and apps on the Chrome store. I shouldn't have to grant the right to see all content on all pages just to pretty-print JSON responses. But don't confuse today's announcement with Chrome Web Store apps or extensions. There could be convergence later, but so far it's just a rev on the Install To Home Screen feature that's been there on iOS since it began.
