It is super helpful for flashing a pixel to GrapheneOS, especially for non technical folk

If they managed to install chrome and finding their way to grapheneos they can manage installing another program for flashing.

The convenience of webusb is pretty overrated, id rather have my browser not tell any site everything asked and more.
