What? No it's not. It seems to me you completely misunderstand WASM by saying "the anatomy of the page is as manipulable as it's ever been through standardized interfaces (DOM)" as that's clearly unchanged with WASM! WASM doesn't even have access to the DOM yet, so literally WASM uses the same JS code browser extensions do.

I think they're talking about replacing the DOM entirely with a canvas based renderer through WASM, as Flutter and other WASM based UI frameworks like Slint do.
