it isn't. that is html and css, some would argue it's html only.
javascript is not needed to load a website. It's useful for interaction, and needed to load content separately and dynamically. without it you get a mostly (but not totally) static document like in Office Word
CSR exists. You know, WASM CSR websites rely on JS to manipulate the DOM.
that does not mean javascript is essential, and mox's point is still very valid.
using WASM instead of JS is not better either. you simply don't need any clientside executable code on a read-only view of a page
SSR then.
