WebUSB is particularly useful for this, because it allows you to just open a website. You don't need to install an app.

It also convenient for developer, as distributing apps nowadays is a lot of hoops to jump over. Website is just a website.

Also website is cross-platform by definition, as long as API is supported across platforms and WebUSB API is supported on all platforms except iOS.
