These bindings only get us so far. We can't do anything with externref results directly in AssemblyScript code. For example, we can't write

const el = document.createElement('div')
el.setAttribute('foo', 'bar')
document.body.append(el)
document.body.lastElementChild === el //true

For this reason, we can't simply say that the loader API is obsolete. Loader API is needed in order to make realistic portable code that compiles to JS (without bindings) or WebAssembly (with bindings).
