This is the same reason that things like unikernels have been built for. They haven't taken off because of how difficult it is to rebuild your application to also contain it's kernel, but this kind of sandboxing with WASM and WASI doesn't require that and could likely make things a lot simpler to deal with.

The most successful attempts that i'm aware of are Jazelle[2] and Java-card[3] plans to augment the software solutions [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_processor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_processor [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazelle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazelle [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Card https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Card
