8BitDo say Ultimate Software Online is their attempt to make things easier for Linux gamers, no need to download a standalone firmware updater app now.
Considering they made Chrome an entire OS… It was sort of necessary for that and probably minimal to bring it to the regular desktop browser.
Otherwise it doesn’t really need to, other than simplicity for the end user. Being able to just go to the website regardless of platform and not having to install anything, or keep anything up to date, is a nice end user experience.
As long as it’s doable from userspace the OS doesn’t know what’s a browser or what is being controlled with external code. Blame the concept of ambient authority
It’s also bad because why the fuck should a web browser have that much access to the hardware to begin with?!

That’s both plausible and insightful on your part. Thanks!
That said, just because they could easily do it on the non-ChromeOS version of the browser doesn’t mean they should have.
Not being a jerk, trying to be succinct, but this is you missing or disregarding a crucially important point, in a dozen words.
Also why the fuck is the OS giving the web browser the option of giving it that access to the hardware?
