The ease of interoperation with the host language (JS in this case) is a benefit, not a problem. WASM (without the WASI stuff) is fundamentally a portable assembler target, something that other languages can target, and all the baggage of browser and OS APIs can stay in the host environment and be selectively exposed to the WASM runtime. This makes WASM truly portable (again, without the WASI stuff).
