If this isn't added to the web you will see things like banking websites go away and require a mobile app. Features like this keep the web relevant.

I don't care if the web is relevant if it's not the web anymore. Ruining a platform to keep it relevant isn't in my interest as a user.

If we shoot this down and every bank requires me to download a mobile app, then fine. What this is proposing is basically to turn websites into mobile apps: device controlled, unmodifiable, broken on any non-approved hardware. If that's going to be the case regardless, I'd rather just download the app, at least that would be more honest about what's actually going on, and at least I'd still be able to use my adblocker when I browse the web.

The web is an app platform which competes against other app platforms.

>device controlled, unmodifiable, broken on any non-approved hardware

That's already true of the web without this API. It doesn't change anything in regards to that.

>at least I'd still be able to use my adblocker when I browse the web

Please read the proposal. It has nothing to do with preventing adblocking or detecting people with adblockers.
