WASM component model is internal to the WASM project, isn't it? As such, it provides interoperability for one and only ecosystem (WASM), and thus has no chances to be perceived worthy and universal enough for people to care, that's the point.

What are you talking about? The point of WASI is to stabilize WASM's access to OS APIs. It uses the component model to do this, which is bound to by languages that compile to WASM and by runtimes that run WASM. That is the only kind of interoperability that is required for this WASM system for WASM components to do WASM things.
