Seems to me that it's potentially safer to run untrusted WebAssembly applications than native Linux binaries, since the format is designed to run in browsers without pre-approval by the user and/or reviewers. So you could run a service published by a third-party on your own Kubernetes cluster alongside your own apps.

Title is confusing and make it seems like it's a kubelet that runs in WA runtime. It's the opposite, it's a kubelet that runs WA workloads.

It's needed because WebAssembly becoming a nice and secure way to run your workloads and have plugins written in multiple languages.
