Nope, you've fundamentally misunderstood the issue at hand. The JS is not Avast's business logic. Rather, the program is attempting to analyze and detect malware in JS that the user encounters, similar to how an AV engine might inspect Microsoft Office files for malware. "Low-effort JS developers" had nothing to do with this. "C/C++ engineers" (and/or those above them) made this decision.
