Generally speaking, giving javascript that much control over your browser was a security hazard.

But also, firms used to have much larger staffs. It wasn't just two marketing guys in a trench coat trying to tell you they were a $10B company.

I'm pretty sure it's specifically the battery life of mobile devices that's the issue.
