No, I think that this case demonstrates that it's JavaScript which is the ultimate problem: cryptomining is a code-execution problem (although there is a network-access component to it, since the mining code needs to get block information & submit block results somehow). I like to imagine that in a few decades we'll wonder how we ever thought it was a good idea to grant frictionless full-execute privileges to all the code everywhere, but honestly I'm far too pessimistic to believe that we'll ever wake up.
