I think the reason that his article feels strange is that it's not clear the perspective that he's coming from. I'm pretty sure that it's in direct response to some currently ongoing conversations in the Python community about adding WASM as a PyPI-suported target [1]. In these discussion there's questions about how WASM compares to a CPU instruction set as well as how emscripten and WASI relate. I think he's just working to answer those questions and is not writing for a general audience.
