I hope you're right, and it does end up happening. That would very much enable many languages (LLVM based ones anyway) to become practical alternatives to JS for web dev, whereas now they're more like "can be sorta done with significant effort". ;)
Btw, my impression that it would be blocked by JS people involved in the process, was from a conversation some time ago with one of the JS people themselves.
They said (from their point of view) there's no need for WASM to directly access things instead of going through JS, and they'd block it themselves if things went that direction. Security was the lever they mentioned they'd probably be able to use.
