All true, except the bit that wgpu-py compiles to WASM. It's all desktop.
In the plans that we do have for running the browser, Fastplotlib, Pygfx and wgpy-py will still be Python, running on CPython that is compiled to WASM (via Pyodide). But instead of wgpu-py cffi-ing into a C library, it would make JS calls to the WebGPU API.
