> It isn't surprising that adobe decided not to port it to WASM because it was a spaghetti mess.

Business people never use this as part of the decision making process. If there's a market they will throw programmers at it and ignore their warnings.

Business people don't know WTF a WASM is.

I'm sure "we should get flash mobile" was pitched at one point in time and the "we'd have to rewrite everything in Javascript" was ultimately what killed those sorts of notions. Because, business people care that "this will be a multimillion dollar investment"
