WASM blobs for programs like these can easily turn into megabytes of difficult to compress binary blobs once transitive dependencies start getting pulled in. That can mean seconds of extra load time to generate an image that can be represented by maybe a kilobyte in size.

Not a bad idea for an internal office network where every computer is hooked up with a gigabit or better, but not great for cloud hosted web applications.
