I believe and agree with most of you wrote ;)

The main problem with HTML/CSS/JS is programmers want more than these languages offer. With WASM you can pick up language(must compile to .wasm) that fits your use case best. This is the freedom most programmers want.

There will always be programmers who will draw their custom buttons(instead of modifying DOM from WASM) and ignore accessibility. They can do this with JS as well, but most of them don't.

The original "sin" is that the browser became the delivery tool for what you're talking about. Whether it's a sin or not is of course a matter of opinion.

But is odd after all these years the browser killed off a big junk of "native" apps on the desktop, but in mobile, there's a whole other story.

Which makes me think the problem all along was about distribution, not technology.
