I bet Intel would have undermined WebAssembly if they were given
a chance. Now other CPU vendors (e.g. mobile) can strengthen
their position by making WebAssembly applications a target for
testing.
So, maybe the conclusion is: don't let corporations create
technology standards in their main domain, because then they try
to create monopolies and start misbehaving. Browsers is a
side-line tech, so... this might have a chance..?
