If I am archiving PBs of data for 10+ years, I don't want to rely on a WASM interpreter being available and performant in the future just to read a file. I want a dead-simple, heavily documented byte specification like Parquet.

Additionally, putting the decoding logic inside an WASM binary introduces an active execution layer into what should be a cold storage.
