I remember at the time how everyone were simply saying that Flash was no longer needed, that sure JS wasn't as fast, but that it would quickly surpass Flash... We talk about tool capabilities, but it's also a standalone format, a single file that you include and it works. There's no way to achieve the same yet in JS. I'm sure some people tried to push standard ways, but none never became as standard as including a SWF file.

> a single file that you include and it works. There's no way to achieve the same yet in JS. You can include all your JS and CSS into one HTML file. It's widely considered a bad practice for sure, but you absolutely can include it all in one file. Even your images can be included in the file with base64 encoding.
