Wasm is very new, give it time. It will eventually get support for SIMD and maybe multi threading and GPU compute. It's amazing you can get results this good without all that though.
Anyway you are comparing apples and oranges. The alternative to wasm isn't native, it's javascript. And this is leaps and bounds better than js. Wasm is the new lowest common denominator language. Every platform supports it, it "just works" from the browser without requiring the user to do anything, and it doesn't require installation of any untrusted software. You can't say that for anything else.
