Iirc, Shopify uses this to execute storefront code on the edge in a sandboxed environment.

People who want to write JavaScript for backend store functionality can, and then Shopify deploys that code into containers with small IO semantics

I believe Shopify looked into using a JS engine in WASM for front end sandboxing but ended up using a wrapper around the Shadow Realms API instead.
