Is the average javascript developer responsible for the horrible security model and the dubious javascript-accessable features added every year to web browsers? This is like saying developers of MS Windows applications are responsible for the horrible period of Windows worms we had a decade or so ago before MS started to get more serious about security.

The front-end community is responsible for forcing it to be used on most sites even for basic functionality like reading an article.

That is a specious retort. You don't need to pwn the browser to track a user.
