The fundamental and massive problem that I think SageMath has is that it is not part of the Python ecosystem, by which I mean that there is no good way to do "pip install sagemath-[foo]", in sufficient generality. PROBLEM: SageMath is not part of the Python ecosystem. DEFINITION: A piece of software is part of the Python ecosystem, if you can do "pip install <software-name>" on basically the same platforms as the intersection of where you can install scipy/numpy/matplotlib/pandas, and with somewhat comparable resource usage (i.e., installing Sagemath can't use 100x of the time/space of the above, as that would be unfair). There are many tools to help solve this problem, and WebAssembly is definitely one of those tools, and at least scipy/numpy/matplotlib/pandas are all well supported via WebAssembly these days. If this problem were solved, I think SageMath would likely have much more usage, which would have benefits related to other problems such as "Sage is a lot of work to maintain".
