> 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.
