From what I've seen, the current GNU approach to JavaScript emphasizes encouraging websites to use code that is actually free software (i.e. legally redistributable, etc.) and marked as such; I expect they consider that more meaningful than merely being technically able to look at the source.[1][2] You can do that just as well with assembled code, so I don't think they'd care that much, but I can't speak for them.
