WebUSB was an obviously bad idea right from the start, just like Web Bluetooth was, both of which I believe were proposed by Google. It all comes from this nonsense idea from Google that "all devices should be directly connected to the internet" (and thus owned by botnets).

Mozilla team, if you're reading, please reject implementing or at least enabling such APIs with extremely high-risk to the user by default in your browser - "sandbox" or not.
