This is base stupidity. Suppose you used your web-dictator powers to strip JS from the web based on historical decisions made 50 years ago. Then everyone other than you would use Web2 and ignore you. Indeed Web 2.0 is already a term recognising that the web has changed since it was first conceived; I guess it would make you feel better if we formalised it and formally created a new Web that's exactly like the current Web except with nobody who can claim things about how it was "supposed" to work in the 1970s?
Clearly you have a vested interest in the status quo of today, instead of understanding why the whole network was created in the first place.
Your viewpoint enables billions of dollars of fraud every year, worldwide. Mine doesn't.
Email has similarly been destroyed by HTML email, at least partially.
It's like there is a coordinated effort to destroy every single legacy protocol and replace it with something centrally controlled. No fucking thank you.
I think someone should ask Vint Cerf whether he ever intended the web to run executable code, and enforce that answer on the existing web.
I bet the world would crumble. Good.
