    Node.js, as any other native Linux/Windows/Mac application, talks to the OS via a system API. You can emulate that API using WASM, mapping I/O to browser APIs, which is why they mention network is implemented via service workers, for example. File I/O can be mapped to IndexDB... Threads can also be mapped to service workers, I guess... And so on. emscripten[1] did this a long time ago for C, which is how a bunch of native applications have already been ported to run on the browser. webcontainers[2] seem to do a similar thing but focused on exposing the browser API to the native apps in a way that integrates well with the JS environment.

    It's the "File System Access API," the one that allows the browser to read/write files on your actual computer. It's an I/O feature, impossible to polyfill. The similarly named "Filesystem API" gives you access to a sandboxed "virtual drive" in the browser. https://caniuse.com/?search=file%20system.
