Linux distros are shipped as binaries yet you can still build them from source, and are certainly not controlled by one company, I don't see why that would be the case here.

Would you require every website to come with architecture-independent source code? What happens if it doesn't match the compiled binary? Or would the browser compile it every time?
The original premise of the argument was about WASM bytecode vs native assembly - bytecode is no more open or closer to the source code than x86 asm. Your questions are completely orthogonal to the argument, so please bring up relevant points.
