The OS can prevent it, but can it do so without making JIT impossible?

well, if you can’t make pages executable you can “just in time” it by interpreting and writing it to an optimized interpreter format i suppose (but it will be much slower)... as an example, see WKWebView vs UIWebView (from iOS)

You can do that but slow JIT kind of misses the point.
