Companies can develop big, bulky WASM-only framework with graphic primitives & so on, very much like Java applets, and effectively kill the openness of the web standards.

Reverse engineering some HTML is not difficult. Minified JS is much more difficult. A 50MB blob of WAMS is just too time consuming.

On the contrary, making it 100x times more difficult to understand what a website is doing is terrible for security, compatibility, inclusiveness (good luck making a braille terminal for WASM-only websites or using them on a very slow uplink)
