> There is no reason whatsoever to allow remote access to USB devices

Sorta but that's not what this standard is proposing. It's proposing a way of accessing a USB device from a web browser. There isn't any remote access happening here (at least not directly though with this standard you could theoretically do that).

This is simply so web apps can get closer to native apps in functionality.
