WebUSB is yet another attempt at turning a hypertext viewer into an operating system. Documents were never meant to be Turing-complete.

HTML is far from the first document format that's turing complete. See Postscript, PowerPoint (No macros needed), Excel (No macros needed), PDF (if you count the embedded JS), Word (If you use macros), etc.
