It's easy to turn off the JIT if you want - you can even do it on the iPhone now. It makes the web dogshit slow and is a fundamental nonstarter of an idea.
A slightly more feasible way forward here is replacing JavaScript with dear god anything else but JavaScript but that's a long way off. WebAssembly seems to have stalled.
