The problem isn't that JVM deals with higher level constructs. It's that it doesn't deal with low-level constructs.
Consider .NET / CLR for another example. Like JVM, it also deals with objects, methods etc conceptually on bytecode level. But it also deals with raw pointers and pointer arithmetic and other such stuff. As a result, you can efficiently compile e.g. C into that bytecode. So wasm isn't really new in that sense, either.
