There is no point in trying to convince users of this website that JS is useful. They will remain fundamentally opposed because they don't like the bloat and abuse. They turn a deaf ear to the fact that users demand certain functionality that is only possible via JavaScript.

And why is that ?

(.. because they can't do it with Style (lossless) or something else and that's because browsers are kept broken mostly (so it's not possible at all or without strings attached) or they don't know how - neither why they can't find no other ways and how the one only left for them disables any other uses than some programmer (that just happened to be there for a moment without any reflection) vision, neither think about it ?

Yes, there are cases when JS shine - but the rest are just patches.. that need patches.. if anyone follow.

Yes, it keep some ecosystem alive and good for business - but it's not the interface a thing to take away my focus, neither one more level, "AI", doing any different. )

Yeah this is pretty much exactly the take I'm talking about. People who use JavaScript do so without thinking because they are thoughtless morons, making sites harder to use for the tech elite. They create more work because the site will break soon, which is good for business.
You are right. But that's still a completely different argument than JS is never needed.
Ok.
