We're finally getting lots of things (HTML native validation, date and time pickers, etc.) that make JavaScript unnecessary for the things it was commonly used for in the 2000s. Unfortunately, in the mean time, client side scripting has metastasized throughout web applications to the point that things that browsers and HTML actually do implement well (history, keeping your place in the page, accessibility) are generally re-implemented, poorly, by web applications.
