after a video call with google last week, I was encouraged to raise a conversation here around issues we at Unity have with Wasm memory allocation.
The short summary is that currently Wasm has grave limitations that make many applications infeasible to be reliably deployed on mobile browsers. Here I stress the word reliably, since things may work on some devices for some % of users you deploy to, depending on how much memory your wasm page needs, but as your application's memory needs grow, the % of users you are able to deploy to can dramatically fall.
These issues have been raised as browser issues, but the underlying theme is recognizing that the wasm spec is not robust enough for mobile deployment to customers.
