I don't think WASM's value was ever in a hardware instantiation of the actual instruction set.

Oh, I don't think so either, but if you think back to the asm.js times, there was a clear goal of "simple and higher perf", but now it's going in a direction for maximum compatibility with existing stacks (GC, WASI, etc) at "any" cost
