Phoenix is built to power realtime web applications. Realtime web applications require javascript.

Edit: Not that you can't use Phoenix without realtime capabilities, but a lot of the good stuff in Phoenix is around Channels.

JavaScript may well be practically required, but there are people/agents that don't have it, and dumping piles of json data on them is a poor fallback.
