I mean, as of Oilpan the V8 garbage collector marks C++ objects by calling trace hooks, as I understand things. That isn't an option for Web Assembly, which doesn't have access to the V8 garbage collector in that way (except via the wasm GC proposal; in fact, that's fundamentally what the wasm GC proposal is).
