I mostly agree, but for most of its life, the Flash runtime was ~1MB and shared among every site. Every site needing to download a separate 38MB runtime is an insane amount of overhead.

Could the WASM runtime eventually be shared like that? Also, is there a reason why the overhead is so large compared to Flash?
