Being cross-platform and cross-browser with close-to-native performance is the primary selling point of WebAssembly. What's the point of going that way if you are supporting the exact same platforms you were supporting before? It's also funny how there is no mention of Firefox at all like it's so insignificant we won't even bother testing.

Chrome is the new IE

If IE received monthly updates and had one of the fastest JavaScript engines around, it would still be the dominant browser.

The biggest difference is not technical, rather the way many worship Google vs Microsoft.

IE/edge does recieve monthly updates every patch tuesday for the last several years

Yes, monthly updates every patch Tuesday, but sadly no fixes.
