Like you say, WASM should enable many more solutions to target the browser, breaking JavaScript's monopoly. There are still good desktop developer tools out there.
And I agree: if your app only needs to run in the browser - use browser tools. But if you really use an app all day long, you're going to want a dedicated desktop version. The browser app-in-an-app model is convenient for casual use, but not optimal for long stretches and doesn't integrate as well with the desktop for real workflow.
Also, if your app exceeds 100k lines of code, there are some languages that might be better than JavaScript.
