I didn't see it but did think about it. I think it should be possible by wrapping WebUSB into something like Comlink, e.g. I know Surma experimented with allowing Comlink to be used with WebSockets: https://twitter.com/dassurma/status/1218207376899235840

Comlink takes care of the RPC part of any API, so you only need to choose and hook up a communication backend.

This is actually at a lower level. This is to bind webusb remote device as a virtual device in Linux. It would be more flexible and has very interesting use cases.

Ah, I see. That would be interesting, but removes the cross-platform compatibility from the equation, which, for me, is the most valuable piece of WebUSB and other similar APIs.
