> Do people think we shouldn't use compilers because we 'can' write binary ELF files directly? Same goes to JS.

The problem however is that JS is a perfectly fine programming language by now. Think about it, why are we still stuck with Webpack et al? It's because of inconsistent or missing support for modules / imports, or because of a risk that a JS feature you use does not work on a certain browser. And there's JSX of course.

JS is not assembly.
