The web is always 5 to 10 years away from being competitive.
Meanwhile Twitter struggled to implement such a trivial thing as a virtual list on the web: https://grumpy.website/post/0RQvmdNmN
It took them almost a year after the resign to fix most of these issues. While breaking or half-breaking functionality for almost everything else.
And that's for a website that's nothing but text and pictures. I wouldn't he my breath waiting for web to be competitive.

The web post-wasm could be a whole different beast from what the web was originally supposed to be.
Not that the current situation is idyllic, but I fear a post-wasm web would be even more opaque and less inspectable.
