If I had to guess, I'd say OP meant that just like CLR or the JVM, WebAssembly couldn't be used to target bare metal and since Wasm is discussed in the original post, there's no practical difference between it and CLR/JVM for language intermixing at present - it's just another "common language runtime" if you will. But I agree that the tone used wasn't the best.
