Yeah, that's because it's not really supposed to be used for that. Every single one of these is solvable if they wanted to support this use case. Ad footprint and implementation effort - of course there'd be just a few major ones that'd be cached at client side. Ad2 implementation effort, we can simply compile Qt or Gtk to WASM; it even works today, it's just slow because of platform limitations. This'd be used for applications primarily, document-oriented pages could stay HTML/CSS and HTML/CSS could be simplified thanks to complex web apps turning to other means.
