You'd think, but everyone I know that explored this option ended up just implementing desktop software instead (e.g. with Electron).

Part of that is because by the time you're asking an ordinary user (not a super-opinionated "sophisticate" on HN) to install a Chrome extension, you're 95% of the way towards getting them to install a desktop application anyways, and that remaining 5% of effort is often worth the extra flexibility the Electron app gets you.
