An example of this is Microsoft Flight Simulator. Packages such as aircraft are distributed/compiled as WASM modules and run (as I understand it) in a sandboxed environment within the simulator.

That’s the first use case that’s practical, in the wild, and adopted by Microsoft nonetheless.

Do you have any additional details/links on how this works?

From my limited understanding it’s actually the aircraft instruments that run JS/WASM .
