> Mainly because most of their bets have been unsuccessful: WASI, Component Model.

Can you expand on that? I've only been using wasm for web (and the current status quo of JS bindings to the DOM is working just fine for me) so I haven't been following that strongly, but for the last couple months I was under impression that people are still trying to push WASI.

WASI in their first attempt has been a success (what now is called wasip1). wasip2, p3, are tied into the component model.

I'd say that wasip1 has been successful, but not any future version. You can check which version is the most popular just by looking at the Rust WASI crate versions and how much downloads each one has:

wasip1:

wasip2, p3:
