To make "any kind of application" on the web you need the web to provide sensible APIs for those applications. And Javascript has nothing to do with it. E.g. lack of controls listed over at https://open-ui.org/ has nothing to do with Javascript.

Good luck implementing anything beyond the most basic controls with HTML and CSS.

You're just misunderstanding what he's asking for.

I don't. His concern is completely misdirected. The problem with the web as a UI/app platform isn't Javascript
