Yeah, it really undermines their ability to compromise user security and privacy.
Somebody also recently shared an awesome project which let's you use an usb printer regardless of your OS driver.
I used something similar in the past. It was a legitimate use case for web usb which changed my mind on it quite a bit.
https://www.charachorder.com/ sells ergo keyboards and allows you to update their firmware directly in the website, through web usb. No local apps at all. Also an improvement in overall security from having to download some .exe / .dmg and running it locally.
