It's not really JavaScript that's the problem but the way it's used, right?

No one says JS has to be used for weird and creepy tracking purposes.

Correct. And the article doesn't say so either. It just says that using it in pointless, negative-value ways is bad - and there's all too much of that. If you need a link, use <A ...>, for example, not a custom JS handler.
