Now with Webxxx, the user needs to make sure that it is the right URL, not a fake teanns instead of teams, so he is unsure every time he has to use it. Some random download, once it works, can be reused and you have more trust that it works after the trial was positive.

And if it is open source, you can review the code before compiling. I can't review the code of some random server, as my browser only receives a random wasm binary for example.

But the alternative is binary flashing software AND a binary blob to flash.

This doesn't preclude it being open source in anyway. Infact with a WASM toolchain you could even compile in the browser.
