Well, it's not exploitable to get out of the sandbox, but there's still interesting data inside the sandbox. For instance, if some website's wasm is parsing the URL to read the URL fragment or something, you could imagine an attacker sending me to a malformed URL, hoping to overflow the URL parser and gain execution with all the cookies of that web page.

True, I suppose I should temper down "shouldn't be exploitable" to "shouldn't be able to provide a stepping stone to system-wide arbitrary code execution".
