Jonas asked if it was used enough.
I would say for what I know that many applications propose to read barcodes:

Thing is, we don't need this on the web platform until some user agent
actually supports giving input by a reader

It shouldn't be a new input type, because it's not a *type* of value.
Barcodes are simple a wrapper for a value, to make it more easily
machine-readable. Scanning a barcode is an input mode for a value,
just like typing or speaking it is.
Indeed.
