It became difficult as Web technologies grown complexier, such as implementing native CPU instructions through WASM, bluetooth through Web Bluetooth, 3D graphics through WebGL, NFC, motion sensors, serial ports, and so on. Nowadays, it's simply too hard to maintain a browser engine, because many of the former alternatives were abandoned and became deprecated.
This is purely a nitpick, but WASM lets you run WASM instructions not native cpu instructions. Its does let you get much closer to the speed of running native instructions
