I gotta say that I agree with Nick .. it's pretty puzzling.
Business is pragmatic, as a rule, so you just gotta think there's something
to this. Maybe fewer college graduates? College is pretty expensive. Maybe
not enough in the tech related subjects?
I do know that there is a huge difference in

Oh my goodness, Arthur Jaffe once delegated me to go to an art gallery in Santa
Fe to see if the piece he loved really was as lovable as he thought. I stared
at it for a half hour or so, and reported back that indeed it was. So he bought
it long distance. Long time ago.

Yup, WebAsm is now enabled in modern browsers, thanks to a stable API for
several releases. It's amazing how quickly this was defined and got
implemented! (Unlike es6 modules, es2015, going on 2 years late!).
