Web browsers can run linux and as an extension literally anything. We don't go around calling it webux

No.
It’s main use when released was crypto mining (among other nefarious things) on unsuspecting people’s browsers.
It’s other use is obfuscating shit. Like your typical website doesn’t use the browser, it draws stuff with javascript (which has been minimized and obfuscated). This is to hide the nefarious activities.
Web assembly is just a poor-man’s flash. We are now living in a post-flash world now. We’ve already moved past the concept.
There are better and faster virtual machines, like the one in luajit… webass is like a school project’s output as far as quality. … just like RISC V, thinking an academic teaching tool could come within spitting distance of ARM on any metric.
