I've tried to read source code from YouTube and let me tell you:

If that kills it, it was already dead. Obfuscation and minification is already as bad as bytecode. Honestly, wasm might be a little better because there are less insane hacks and more simple, if low level, code.

Also, if people are willing to implement DRM in it just because it's bytecode, I'd rather they did that than implemented rootkits in all of the browsers. Thanks for that one W3C.
