Your vision sounds like a potential vector for the widest possible distribution of malware. If you want to spin off WASM out from the browser into an independent technology then fine, but you need the same (preferably greater) security limitations that the browser already provides. Ensuring that level of constricted access uniformly and assuredly without any kind of accreditation is extremely unlikely.

I will not speak to outside the browser, but inside the browser this isn't changing. JavaScript remains the language of the browser and WASM is not in competition there. This isn't my personal opinion. It is the stated goal of WASM as a technology. The primary reason for that: security.
