This has been true for a while, but the OP isn't even about full and unconditional access (like root access, which is all but impossible for normal use), it's literally just "sync my files".

I was under the impression browsers have been implementing more hardware access, not less, if slowly. What are you referring to?

Yeah, exactly, it's a really worrying trend and one that I really don't want to see continue.
