playwright can do all of that too. I'm confused why this is necessary.

If coding agents are given the Playwright access they can do it better actually because using Chrome Developer Tools Protocol they can interact with the browser and experiment with things without having to wait for all of this to complete before making moves. For instance I've seen Claude Code captures console messages from a running Chrome instance and uses that to debug things...

I've also had Claude run javascript code on a page using playwright-cli to figure out why a button wasn't working as it should.
