Web developers don't seem to have any concern about using gigantic quantities of memory. Don't hire a web developer to develop for games. :)

  It's almost as if spending time optimizing memory usage isn't worth it because server RAM is cheap!

    What does server RAM have to do with modern web development, where the vast majority of the work is done on the frontend?

With several programs using wasm, the runtimes can be shared, the way shared libraries work in modern OSes, or shared assemblies .net.
