They don't belong there either.

Some people use screen readers, text-mode browsers, IE due to stupid work/school policies, etc. Some people like automating their workflow, which can involve scripted browser interactions. Some people actually care about security and privacy, and so run NoScript, etc.

Screen readers and browser automation can run javascript. Sure, it may be more pure and perfect for everyone write websites that don't require javascript, but the economics of building websites doesn't support it.
