You know who is a big user of JS? Who is using more, and more complex JS on their websites?

Google.

Google is also the pusher of some of the WebAPIs that will give browsers more access to your system (e.g. WebUSB [1])

Do you think Google is breaking JS to make themselves using less JS?

Of course I don't think that. But I recognize this move by Google as beneficial to my own goals, namely getting JavaScript off of the web.


Congratulations on your opinion! You are free to disable JavaScript on your own browser and be rid of it forever. Meanwhile, in the real world, JavaScript is never "getting off the web".
