    There was a time where you really needed Javascript and the Javascript you needed did not exist yet so you actually needed Flash.

    If all your site did was display static content or maybe POST to a php back-end, sure, JS was optional. But if you wanted a website to do anything, or look like more than a jumped-up Word document, then JS was your only sane option until maybe 2011. And even then the Javascript you needed was actually jQuery.
