The OS vendors don't really want the overlay operating system (i.e. browsers) to be better. Because that might make their OSs obsolete.

There is an opportunity with web assembly to break out of the browser and do the overlay operating system better. Amazingly, most developers seem to not realize this, and have decided that web assembly will only need to run in the terminal or something. So either momentum or entrenched interests or stupidity will probably prevent the web assembly environments from standardizing on UI or device drivers etc.

Microsoft had not been needed for a long time.
