It's because every 'programmer category' (game devs, backend devs, traditional web devs, ...) wants something different from WASM, and the early hype also didn't help. For me WASM is "just another ISA" like x86 or ARM, and the web is "just another platform" like Windows, macOS or Linux. All my hobby C/C++ projects (and some Zig projects) also automatically run in the browser, and 'distributing' a URL is much less painful than distributing native binaries or asking users to build the code themselves.
