If you have a big website with lots and lots of different kind of visitors you either have:
- Visitors with a bandwidth so low it takes a long time for the JS to download completely (so making it work in the mean time helps a lot).
- Visitors with outdated browsers where your JS will stop on some unsupported feature you forgot to polyfill (I usually add a polyfill after when I see it but in the mean time it works), that's what I meant by "crashing", it never works 100% of the time in 100% of the cases, it depends on the browser as well.
