This has always felt like something that doesn’t belong in a web browser to me.

as someone who did an ESP based project for end users, this is really useful to let users flash new stuff on their device without needing some convoluted toolchain on your computer

it was really really useful to tell people "go to xyz and select the option you want, follow the on screen instructions and you're done. sorry, chrome only"

Just last week my mobile died. I was able to get a new one and flash GrapheneOS while traveling, using my partners phone. That was totally awesome.
