Nah. JS is fine for apps that need it. But a lot doesn't (every blog and news site) where JS is used for obnoxious animations and dark patterns.

And now the unwritten contract between users and companies has been broken, so I’d very much prefer most applications to be in the browser where they are contained instead of installed on my computer.

I feel like under all these CSS hacks there lies the kernel of something where you can write javascript, transpile it into a bunch of CSS and html, and effectively run it. Javascript-less javascript.
