The irony of it all: the serious people who were working on web3 (and by "serious" I mean "those who were not just pumping a project tied with some random cryptocurrency") already have gone through all these pains of dealing with programmable user agents (browsers) and have a thing or two to help here.

Do they? AFAIK the main thing that was standardized on was Metamask and the few RPC functionality that came with that, but I also haven't kept up with the space in some tme.

Yeah, I mean things like roll-ups for smart contracts that could do be used for cheap authentication. Zk-proofs for permission less access only for humans, etc.
