If the CLR wouldn't have focused on managed languages like C# but instead would have allowed to run C and C++ (unmodified, not the Franken-C++ Microsoft came up with multiple times which required substantial code modifications) more people would have taken it serious. Same with the JVM+Java+Oracle combo.
But then Emscripten came along and showed how it's done properly, and everything derived from that (asm.js, WASM, WASI) was just evolution at work.
