I personally think this is a mistake. But I'm not sure how much it matters. It's not like a lot of people were using asm.js still AFAIK.

But wasm is too isolated from javascript. From my limited use of it, I was considering trying to compile to asmjs instead.

But I wasn't sure that emscripten still fully supported it.

You can't call most web apis from wasm.

But more important for what i was trying to do, you can't zero copy buffers from js to wasm.

Everything is a trade off. The isolation is a good thing, but also a bad thing.
