That's of course an option if you're fine with your deployables being architecture- and OS-dependent, and very often that's the case.

But for when it's not, I think a platform-independent and language-agnostic bytecode standard is a valuable thing to have.

In the extreme scenario where you want to run arbitrary untrusted code on arbitrary machines, that would be useful, but wasm isn’t a solution for that.

If I need to specifically support how certain languages compile to wasm (meaning I don’t support arbitrary wasm) then what’s the point?

It’s just Java applets again.
