I kind of see the point in this.
Things I can do with Chrome'ish browsers:
All this with a single browser, no 3rd party applications. I think it's called WebSerial and it's a neat feature. Quite sad that Firefox doesn't have it.
If you can really overwrite your operating system with your web browser, that sounds like a security nightmare.
There are multiple steps in between for installations, but yeah the attack surface is quite large…
