Because people/companies rely on it? This is the sad issue with Web based tech. On desktop, you can run most software from Windows 95 on natively on your modern Windows 10 computer. Think about it. That means that I wrote a small utility in 1996, you bought it in 1997, I went out of business in 1998, and you can run it in 2017 (that's 20 years later). How much of Websites/games/utilities from the 90s/2000(!)s are dead because the #1 open language was found to have too many security holes (or more precisely, couldn't update properly) and no ones around to re-write them in HTML5. ---- How much of current HTML5 javascript will be "turned off" in a few years? What if browsers (read - Google) decide that "eval is evil" and ban it in JS?
