why in the absolute fuck would I want random web pages to be able to control all the devices connected to my computer?

It's essentially for programming microcontrollers, ESP32's and the like. It's really handy. You have to confirm the connection every time.

I have an idea - what if a webpage could just run arbitrary code? With a confirmation every time. Then you wouldn't need a WebX for every X.
