SPIR-V already has a lot of collaboration, and will provide natural synergy with non Web use cases, since it's the standard bytecode format for shaders there already. So collaboration argument goes for SPIR-V here. Human readability of the shader shipped from the page is a different argument, and it can have some merit, but the same could be argued against using WebAssembly for instance which is not very human readable in comparison with JavaScript. I don't think it's a strong argument against using it.
