Yeah the problems it is meant to solve are not problems that most frontend developers have. Frontend developers are often constrained by development time and maintainability, not performance. Frontend developers care about expressing their code in the most succinct and maintainable way: how can I do something with the least amount of boilerplate possible? That's why we have frameworks: to standardize common patterns in web development and cut down on the amount of time required to build an application. Most frontend developers are not working on performance-heavy applications that require WASM, they're working on forms which get POST'd directly to an API somewhere that does all the real heavy lifting (or just serves as a CRUD interface to a database)
