WebUSB/Bluetooth/NFC/PWAs are an excellent idea.

Not if it's an Open Source project made by a bunch of people for the love of the game. Install a PWA and you have it even when the site is down, if not code available on GH. It's possible to do on a computer (write code and distribute an app not via an app store)...but not in the magical protected-profits land of mobile devices.

Your way of thinking is the reason why we now have a half dozen trillion dollar companies controlling the world.
