None of these are competing with what html is, but which is an open standard for rendering stuff.

Oh sure there are hundreds of modern new graphics libraries. Not a one of them is trying to be a language independent medium. None of these could ever be regarded as an internet protocol.

Not sure what you mean, WASM is a language independent medium. HTML is not an internet protocol, that would be something like HTTP, TCP or UDP. Even with HTTP, you can send any data you want, not just hypertext, which is how WASM is sent over the wire.
