Why aren’t we seeing browser computers then, if they are analogous as you argue? My point is the reasons why we are not seeing them points to where they are actually not analogous.
1. There's no software specifically developed for webassembly, unlike for x86, ARM, and the other architectures.
2. Webassembly itself was designed by software people, not hardware people. As such, it's probably doesn't make as much sense to implement directly in hardware. Doubly so when combined with reason #1.
3. Webassembly doesn't belong to any hardware manufacturer, and therefore nobody has any incentive to introduce a line of native webassembly machines.
