Yeah, however having a debugging tool, that developers have to explicitly open in developer tools, for debugging shaders and drivers that are always used by the browser anyway, doesn't change that.

Agreed. Chrome already has flags to reduce the security posture for developers. It is not outrageous to expect you’d need to use those for profiling gpu shaders. This is a huge gap in the browser gpu ecosystem, especially since wgsl is missing features (like unrolling hints) that can result in dramatically different performance vs hlsl or whatever.
