It depends on whom you ask/what your app does.

For serverless usecases, cloudflare etc.. found that it would be faster to just call a function from a wasm binary than spin up a whole docker container [1]. Which basically translated to cost savings.

In the last company I worked for [2], we saw wasm as a way to easily ship user code in a cross platform way. We mostly targeted edge-ml use cases. Wasm allowed us to package all the "libraries"/functions needed to run the user code securely. So users created and tested out their ML apps in browser and deployed them to all the platforms we supported. (Mobile, Browser, Embedded). As an added bonus they could write each of their functions in any language that compiled to wasm, and just ship it as one "app".

This seems like the best reason to use WebAssembly. The benefit is for the system integrator / platform and the value prop is clear vs. any other technology out there
