Question from someone knew very little in this domain: what stops mass adoption of WebAssembly?

A few years ago, I used a WASM demo website which can use a WASM version of ffmpeg to mux audio and video into a file (transcoding obviously wasn't practical, at least not at that time), and I was very impressed. I can see lots of potential of it.

But I still haven't see much usage of it even today.

(To be totally honest -- i'd rather it's not popular because it would make debugging websites/web applications close to impossible; but that's besides the point.)
