Because Flash, Applets, .NET, Silverlight, ActiveX, NaCL,....

Difference being that WASM is kind of blessed format.

The problems with the alternatives you listed wouldn't have been reduced with more blessing.
So what makes Flash => WebAssembly more acceptable than Flash?
When did I say webassembly was more acceptable than flash?
