Not only are they a decade late while everyone expected WASM to liberate us from JS, and it ended up being a useless toy in JS whose improvements would have been crushed by having to send all progress to JS to apply it, but then giving it access to DOM is also something you'll realize wasn't enough a decade later. Flutter doesn't need DOM; it has all of its own engine. The browser should give the whole viewpoint to the WASM so that apps can directly implement their own GUIs. And then there will be an app revolution. You can directly port your GUI to the web and have it work. No more your GUI as a WASM worker that has to have its frames painted by JS on a canvas; direct painting. You could have wxWidgets, GTK, Flutter, ... all working insanely fast, insanely beautiful. And then people can do amazing things. Imagine a web alternative that is powered by maestro Knuth's TeX; imagine operating systems as web pages, imagine alternative layout systems that do not have to rely on Web events and frame timing. That is all if the browser allows for WASM to bypass the web part and do it itself.

And it would be 100% inaccessible.

Basically this has been the only way to stop anything from happening. But major systems all have accessibility like web and if someone wants to support accessibility they will do it there. Those who don't, won't even do it on web. If something like I say happens, not only accessibility will be lost, but so much more will be lost too. But then if you need it you'll either implement it or use web. Figma, SketchUp, and Google Docs have their software rendered on a canvas. For them this would have made things much faster. It is giving people options. Personally I hate web. It is horrible to write software by manipulating DOM and having to work with CSS. Every time I touch html/js/css I think why can't it be a nice system? Why I have no control over rendering? At least I would have loved to have an alternative the whole web and dom, and would have killed for writing web pages like a flutter app.

Congratulations on being able bodied.

You can't pin requirements on other people who don't have them. If someone doesn't have a requirement to make an accessible product, it's unlikely to be accessible.
