I think the eventual common use for WASM will eventually be DRM and related types of page code "security" and obfuscation. Basically a way for companies to "protect" their tech/IP from easy duplication while not having to carry the expensive burden of the cost of back-end processing in the cloud.

Is WASM harder to de-obfuscate than your typical transpiled/minimized JS soup?

From the perspective of salespeople and managers ... maybe!
