There's a huge demand for explanatory material for ML, and running small-sized demos in the browser is a great tool for that purpose.

I don't know how many people are using JS to train particularly large models, or models they'd use in production, however.

Finally, I wouldn't be surprised if we see something like "ML tools for Brainfuck" sometime on HN, because everyone wants to learn ML and implementation is a good way to learn and everyone wants to write something new and "fun" (for various definitions of fun).
