Google Maps is a wrong example. It&#x27;s a (basic) web <i>application</i>, i.e. what is generally an interactive program that happens to be rendered in the browser. It&#x27;s obvious that most web <i>applications</i> need JS on, because they&#x27;re literally made of JavaScript.<p>Web <i>sites</i>, however, don&#x27;t need almost any JavaScript to work. 90% of it is either unnecessary design that distracts and confuses users, or actively user-hostile scripts (ad popups, trackers, interfaces designed to trick you into buying stuff, etc.).
