Agreed. The only thing JS has over WASM is that you don't need to ship a language runtime or standard library with your application. The counterpoint is that the JS standard library is pretty anemic so the savings might not be that great, and applications might need a more recent runtime version than the host offers (e.g., Java applications often bundle the JVM so they don't have to worry about the version installed on the target platform).
