Meh - every step down that road has been fraught with significant issues. See: Flash or Silverlight, for example. (Yes, I know, not quite the same as if the browser did it natively.) One of the beautiful things about the web is the ability to jump into the dev tools and look at the code. I know it's harder than ever to actually learn from that now, and I predict you are correct that someday we'll get to the point where it's a binary blob delivered. But I'm not holding my breath waiting for it and certainly not advocating for it. I'll adapt when/if it happens, but I feel a bit of the "magic" of the web will die that day.
