Think in the minimum container you need to run some Python code (>300MB?). Now, compare that to just the Python interpreter compiled into Wasm (25MB). If you need deploy that into different nodes, that's a huge difference.

Also, Wasm modules don't have cold-starts as containers.

Regarding running untrusted code, ask the folks at AWS, Azure or Google Cloud dealing with that...
