There are some that would say that moving a standard that covers a large number of complicated things from a versioned standard to a "living standard" makes interoperability impossible for all but the most well-financed organizations. I agree with this assertion.
I'll also point out that (for quite a long while now) only two companies produce the major browser engines: Google and Apple. Mozilla Firefox doesn't count as an independent entity because without the funding from Google, it would have shut down long, long ago.
So, anyway. If Google wants to remove a complicated, security-compromising feature that very, very, very few people use, they should REALLY start with WebUSB.
