Can someone explain to me what's so fundamentally bad with this proposal?

My understanding is that websites can essentially confirm whether the user is likely to be a human because he/she accesses the website from a certified device.

Won't this mean there is less need for Captchas, logins and pay walls? The doc also mentions that this will remove the need for some use-cases of fingerprinting.

I imagine from a user perspective this will be an improvement.
