I don't necessarily disagree with you, but when wasm is fully established I expect to see (another) step change in the complexity of the web. Fully-featured applications, 3D, VR, AR etc. We are on the brink of it already. And beyond a certain complexity (a relatively small amount of complexity, I would argue), a decent type system is essential. Rust just happens to be well positioned to take advantage of all this.
