C++ and Rust are already open source and there isn't reason to believe applications executed as WASM are faster than near JavaScript equivalents.
There is amazing advantage though to just exposing C++/Rust applications without requiring a separate installation or executable for both security and convenience, but I am not seeing much of this in the wild. I think the sand boxed nature of WASM is a bridge too far for many C++/RUST application developers who would then need to include a tremendous number of support library they take for granted outside the browser.
