You are completely correct. These are just the early steps to get it into people's radars. We follow the Unix approach of "Make it work, make it right, make it fast". We are on the "make it work" step and moving to "make it right", for which we will focus to run as many unmodified applications as possible. This requires better support for PHP features that still depend on WebAssembly-related features that are not fully baked yet (ie threading, WASI preview 2) as well as adding over the network database support (ie MySQL) since most apps don't use SQLite in production.

Once all that is in place, you can move into the "make it fast" part, but for many scenarios where security is an issue (high profile websites) even a significant performance penalty (that can be offset with beefier hardware or caching) may be desirable.
