it looks to me like it covers the same funcionality as browser developer tools

but I am also pretty sure those are going away soon, which will mean the only way to inspect websites will be using tools like this (+ WASM binary formats + google controlled web-runtime[0] means the open web is not open anymore)

Why do you think they'd go away? As far as I'm aware all major browsers continue to add new functionality to their dev tools.

Your browser's dev tools don't show you what's happening inside your server (and any downstream services) when responding to the browser's HTTP requests. Spotlight does. That's what's special about it.

What? JS isn't getting replaced by WASM. Also some quick Googling says WASM is a joint project by the W3C and multiple browser owners, and debug tools exist for it in Chrome and Firefox already
