This will enable web-devs to use Javascript to write apps for the Magic Leap app store similarly to how they currently use web view wrappers on iOS or Android. There are many times more web-devs than C++ or Unity devs so it's a smart move even if mostly as a way to excite devs.

Non-browser JS environments are interesting in part because they do away with all of the sandboxing and other privacy and security aspects of the web and offer direct access to the filesystem, sensors, etc. None of that annoying safety when running cross-origin scripts.

As the OS and market evolves it will be interesting to see what sort of user expectations are set and met. We've settled on an inherently untrustworthy deal with Android and iOS apps (they p0wn us) but will we settle on the same deal with face computers with always on cameras?

Web-devs mostly use npm-served dependency hierarchies and often have hundreds (really, hundreds!) of indirectly imported packages in their builds. It will be super interesting to see how ML will help web-devs who accidentally import malicious code.
