Does it have any limitations wrt accessing Android's API? For example, can I create a Hyperview password manager that would draw over other apps and fill out fields using Android Accessibility features? Can you access sensor information or list running processes?

Hyperview probably isn’t the best fit for apps with deep platform integration. Given that it’s designed to be cross-platform and server-rendered, I think this use case would be better served writing code directly against the Android SDK.

Looks like you have do that via React Native components: https://hyperview.org/docs/reference_custom_behaviors

It does seem imaginable to have Android-specific browsers support a common superset of the "nominal/desktop" browser js api. Reference to Hyperview not specifically required, but an enabler for such.
Security issues of course, so specific pages/sites might need permissions, as with webserial etc.
