While it's probably true that a full gui ecosystem could be built on top of wasi+webgpu+windowing, it would mean that programs would often reinvent the wheel. Perhaps that's not a bad thing.
Speaking of moving complexity into sandboxed code, browsers could potentially run js engines inside the wasm vm, reducing a lot of complexity there.
