Javascript is implemented on every major platform. And I do not really see download size as an issue. Many people play games, and the textures used for even a simple RPG take up more space than a javascript engine.
If people are willing to download that much for an entertainment product, then it should be no surprise they are willing to put up with javascript in their work and personal productivity apps.

For instance, <View> would create either an NSView or System.Windows.Controls.Grid using a yet non-existent JS api on each platform, instead of having a bridge that talks back and forth with the platform-native language.
