The adoption of NFC is growing. You can find many news on this site: https://www.nfcworld.com/technology/nfc/. In my eyes WebNFC should be able support the NFC (hosted) card emulation mode which is a perfect fit for authentication and check-in systems. Users can tap an NFC reader to authenticate or checkin without having open any app or website at this moment. It seems to me that the required pieces for implementing the card emulation mode in the Web are already here. The browser would have to register an HCE service listening for an Application ID or AID group triggering the corresponding service worker which implements the actual communication to the reader device. The usability of NFC card emulation mode could further be be improved by laveraging the Wake Lock API [1] to make the HCE service working even from the lock-screen.
