You're missing the forest for the trees. You already have the bytecode interpreter in front of you and so does everyone else. You are already running it, the difference between "it's definitely already running" and "you could trivially make this work if you put a bit of effort in" is enormous.
And your list has no example of anything that was universally installed on everybody's system. The closest is IBM (if you mean x86 opcodes), but code for that one needed to be specialized by OS before it became ubiquitous, and got competitors before its main OS became ubiquitous, and then became ubiquitous again but with 2 main OSes, and then got competitors again.
