I'm answering a comment of yours that exclusively mentions CLI. You can't blame anyone for not reusing the un-reusable. You are not contradicting me on this so let's forget about CLI, it doesn't matter it was done before since it's not a viable option or wasn't at the time WASI was being created. Or actually refute this if you think this is wrong.
Now, you are extending the scope to "all bytecode formats ever created" but that's not what I replied to and it makes your point a moving target. But fine, let's extend the scope, though I don't have a particular opinion on WASI, I haven't looked into it much.
How do you feel about the existence of multiple programming languages? CPU instruction sets? serialization formats?
Maybe WASI was specifically designed with the use case at hand and a new design was the better option. Saying previous work exists is not nearly enough. Most things are like this. They build on top of existing stuff taking inspiration from prior work.
I know nothing much about WASI. Convince me that an existing bytecode would have been better. Describe specific and detailed flaws.
Until then I'll just consider you just hate it for some unknown reason, so much you want others to join you.
