I don't understand why you are so bitter about this. The fact that Wasm has a binary representation is orthogonal to the design. It has CFI and capabilities. CFI allows it to be compiled down to native code safely and run inside the same address space of the containing process. Capabilities control what gets in or out. You would be well served to ignore the whole bytecode aspect and just accept the Wast.
