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.

isn't this good? banks can raise security while we can still use any browser to check hackers news! or this 3 cows story?

Are you okay with buying a new computer running the operating system and browser someone else wants to access your bank's web site?

You can still use you current computer and bowser to access HN.

I already today have a phone dedicated to "important stuff" like accessing banks. I think it's actually a decent solution, and a low-end phone doesnt cost that much either.
