Chrome supports a USB api that could potentially work for that, https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/usb/

sadly though it's chrome only, not a standard of any kind (no other browsers support it that I know of). ESPHome can use it to program microcontrollers (along with the serial port support).




Isn't that because it was explicitly rejected on grounds of security & privacy concerns, rather than 'oh if only others would be up with Google on implementing new features'?

Classic Google...


That's the old one. https://web.dev/usb/ is the supported one.
