It's the 35MB wasm, plus the browser runtime, the OS graphical session and the kernel runtime. Docker images are MB because they pack the distro overlay, not because it's unreasonably unoptimized as the clickbaity title suggests.

Docker doesn’t even need a whole OS overlay if your project doesn’t call for it. It’s pretty easy to take a Go app for example and just include it in a scratch container.
