I expected Genode to show up as complete capabilities based operating system that could be used stand alone environment, with PowerBox controls replacing file dialogs, and some interesting ideas about security and command lines.

I strongly suspect they've been encouraged not to do that for ... reasons

I wish WASM made it easy to use any language in any environment.
