Even tough yes, that's a good answer to the GP... Are people expecting WASM machines to be a thing? And with a different fate from the Java machines? (I don't see how they are different enough to change that fate.)

People are expecting to embed WASM[1]. A generic FAT can provide a lightweight storage abstraction for such work. The WAMR AOT compiled runtime is 50K; 2.5-10% of the flash memory on a STM32F4, for example. Obviously not appropriate for the smallest extant MCUs. Otherwise it's a viable choice.
