The first upside is WebAssembly is designed to run C++ at close to native <10% overhead. The WASM team is starting with that foundation then adding features needed for GC and cross language API access (DOM). This is as opposed the Java and C# byte codes which come with a lot of assumptions baked in.

CLR was designed to support C++, hence Maanged C++ and C++/CLI.

Also the reason why the only major revision to the MSIL bytecodes was the support for generics.
