I believe it's that javascript apps built without due care and consideration don't use true links, they use onclick handlers.

This. I've been guilty of it, because sometimes it makes sense if you're in a hurry and want to add clever functionality (for example, make the whole row of a table be a "link"). Only to be overtly frustrated when you try to use the the app yourself. I'll wheel-click a table row and curse myself for not have thought that before.
