>That forces people to let others take control over their computers when they may not actually want to do that.

This is unnecessarily fear-laden hyperbole. Javascript doesn't force you to let others take control over your computer. And even if it did, for the sake of argument, then literally all code you run does the same, and likely takes far greater control than javascript is capable of.

If I need to run the code in order to do what I need to do then I'm forced to let someone else control my computer.
