So would it (theoretically) be legal to train on the JS files services like gmail.com serve to the client? What about decompiled output of proprietary software like certain files in Windows and macOS?

Except for any laws or restrictions against decompiling, it would legally be no different than the GPL case. Although personally I think since co-pilot is capable of redistributing the code, the question of whether the GPL permits the specific usage is still unclear.
I would expect so, though given the limitations of decompilation (in the absence of debug info) I don't know how useful it would be
