As someone who is a somewhat new to web technologies, can someone really explain why this is bad? I saw the techical discussions in the PRs made to the WEI repo but it was all super technical that I was not able to understand the arguments made for and against it.

WEI turns non-compliant browsers into second-class citizens. You’re perfectly free to use whatever compliant browser engine and OS combo you like today – but in a world with WEI, you’ll have to use Approved Chrome on an Approved OS on Approved Hardware with Approved Signing Keys, or you won’t be able to sign into your bank.

Approved Signing Keys -> Will this require for the end user to do it? If so, then this might be a short lived change, cause for a lot of people having a username and password is already super complicated.

Nothing special. Just use preinstalled system and don't even think about using anything else.
