I naively hope the web bifurcates into sandboxed wasm apps and document content that doesn't even need js, much less wasm. I'm not sure what a middle ground would look like or why I'd want it. But the realist in me knows wasm will eat the document content too, meaning adblockers and reader view are doomed...

Maybe. As inconvenient as accessibility is, with any luck the need to make web content legible to screen readers will also keep adblockers working. Even with wasm, I don’t think the DOM is going anywhere any time soon. I haven’t seen any proposal to replace it.

You are probably right. Raster frameworks that talk straight to a gl context are out there, eframe/egui is one I've used. And yeah, accessibility is bad. Pair that with encrypted websockets and webTPM which if it isn't a thing, will be, you won't have any control over the chain between the screen and the server.
