Compiling C++ or Rust to use in a web page is much more complicated than just writing Javascript. I can't see how that lowers the barrier to entry. Your argument seems to be that you can do more with those platforms because they're more performant, which yeah, to a point I guess, but Javascript is already plenty fast for making whatever obnoxious dreams people want to come true and the web seems to have survived it fine.
