I'm not sure what you mean by "deep-copied" in this case. But I suspect it would involve losing the identity of the objects, which is unacceptable for correctness.

Moreover, typical Scala.js code constructs cyclic dependencies between Scala objects and JS objects routinely. If Scala.js has its own GC, you'll have to manage those cyclic heap references, which will involve weak maps and other trickery so complicated that we would most likely lose all the performance that wasm would otherwise bring us.

It's just not worth it.
