Google should just more explicitly rank pages based on load times and incentivize sites to fix their crap.

Apparently they already did this and it had no effect. It seems like anything less than a binary signal (in the carousel vs. not) is too subtle for publishers to understand.

They could just strengthen the weight of that to be more noticeable. But Google has a vested interest in keeping JS everywhere. I seriously doubt that they tried hard.

I believe AMP pages have no JavaScript.
