It crashes when a developer writes code that crashes, which is not uncommon; its C++.

But but WebAssembly, the sandbox, security, best of all bytecode formats ever created and all that jazz.

So it actually does crash and gets memory corrupted, when using the wrong languages, like in a regular process.

In a "memory safe" programming language you would get a panic for an attempted out-of-range access. For the user it doesn't make a difference, it's a "crash" all the same.
