Apple is invested in LLVM. For other thing you mention, WebAssembly is an AST representation, which is both dumb and do not look like anything like LLVM IR.
I saw more similarity between wasm and SPIR-V than LLVM, but it definitely seems to have some differences. I'm not sure what you mean when you say that using the AST representation is dumb. It probably wouldn't be what you would design initially, but I think part of the motivation of the design was to work within the context of the web's infrastructure.
