While I fully agree with you, being Turing complete has nothing to do with it. I think the article is slightly wrong too on this point.

Turing completeness is a property about the computational "power" of a language. It has nothing to do with the environment in which the program runs. For example, it can exist a language that is Turing complete and has no way at all to access the network: it can do no harm, doesn't matter if it has the same computational power as Javascript.
