> Why?

This isn't good for most web use cases but there are some major new use cases that it enables.

Pyodide is in Python documentation all over the place, for instance on https://numpy.org/

Python has many libraries that JS is missing. Particularly the scientific computing ecosystem has a lot of very well supported Python packages but fewer JavaScript packages. They also can benefit a lot from connection to a UI.

Two key use cases for this stuff are Python education and scientific computing. Students have a hard time installing Python locally. Generally scientists want to share their results broadly, but they probably did their analysis in Python.

Here's another example of a good use case: https://www.socialfinance.org.uk/blogs/analysing-sensitive-d...

To be clear these are all use cases of Pyodide. PyScript only was released two days ago so it's harder to point to real world uses.
