There's no way you'll see anything like that. Flash was dead simple, a 12 year old could throw a simple game together and upload it. WebGPU will require a skilled graphics programmer just to write (or more likely cross compile) these weird shaders.

And the SWF format had insane compatibility, literally unmatched by any other technology imo, we didn't even think about OS's, it really was "write once run anywhere" (pre-smartphone ofc). On the web, even basic CSS doesn't work the same from OS to OS, and WebGL apps still crash on 10% of devices randomly. It'll probably be 5 years before WebGPU is even remotely stable.

Not even to mention the fully integrated editor environment.

Or I guess maybe you're saying someone should build something like Flash targeting WebGPU? Probably the closest there is to that right now is Figma? But it feels weak too imo, and was already possible with WebGL. Maybe Unreal Engine is the bet.
