Actually pretty no one is talking about WebAssembly, compared to Blockchain or IoT is still an obscure technology.

Like PWA they need a wide adoption first, and to solve a business need.

It's possible that there is a decent amount of "talk" in terms of podcasts, conference talks, etc. But Google trends probably is more reflective of what problems people are solving on a day-to-day basis. I doubt Webassembly is ever going to be the actual concern of that many developers, even if it gains popularity. But idk.

I think blockchain is a huge outlier in its capacity to gain mainstream traction. Even when Webassembly is well-established, I doubt the news will report on it.
