The next step is that they will let third-parties inject javascript from the backend. At that point all is lost and the web will die a horrible death.

Routing tracking traffic through a subdomain that proxies through to the third party is already a thing. And my adblocker, at least, already blocks that too.

It's not death anyway; it's just that blockers will have to adjust to blocking bits of third party content.

Just wondering: how will that work when javascript is compressed and obfuscated together with the main code served by the website?

Disable javascript!

Are you speculating or is that a real plan?

Well, it would be a trivial response against the blocking of third-party javascript done by ad-blockers.
