35MB WASM which relies on browser, which relies on drivers and OS, AND it doesn't work as advertised. I get the point, but point was mistaken.

It is a common argument when sizecoding is discussed. "You say it is 64k, but I need a multi-gigabyte OS to run it...". 35MB can't hardly be called sizecoding, but that's the same idea.
It is true, but besides the point because we have no choice. It is not the 1980s anymore and we can't access the hardware directly on personal computers, vendors don't let us. Not that we would want to, for portability reasons. So we depend on abstraction layers, which are not particularly lightweight, and here, it is a working browser supporting WebGL2 and WASM. You simply can't have a game engine running on modern hardware without a software platform. For the sake of argument, we could imagine a lightweight (tens of MB or less) WASM bare metal platform with simple pixel pushing hardware.
Does a docker image not also require drivers, an OS, and the Docker Engine?
WebGL2 has been supported in Chrome since 2017.[0] The last holdout, as is tradition, was Safari which gained support in 2021. MDN considers it "Baseline - Widely available."

WebGL2 support on Chrome and Firefox is now nearly a decade old:
Only Safari was late to the party (2021).
No offense, but the problem is clearly with your setup.
This is often due to (privacy) extensions disabling canvas/webgl.
