Totally agree. I don't think it makes sense for an arbitrary website to send requests against shitty IOT devices in someone's home, for example. Yes, you could argue that mom should be putting her IOT devices on a VLAN, but come on. The obvious, ethical solution is for the browsers to implement this layer of protection and make it obvious to the users when an access is attempted.
