The whole point of WebUSB is to create a tool that works with USB device, without all the risks and issues of installing external programs.

If I need to install a program, browser extension, just to work with a given tool, I probably would just prefer an ordinary program without browser at all.

Chrome approach is correct. It allows user to work with USB devices without exposing computer to the risks of installing a host software.
