The case for a reputable website is even stronger given that you can literally inspect the source code as it runs. While a native program might require disassembly and de-obfuscation, a website can only deliver JavaScript that can just be copy-pasted into a text editor.

The one exception I can think of might be WebAssembly, but to date most native features (like location, filesystem access, even manipulating the DOM) require interop with JS to be used by wasm.

Plenty of websites minify their javascript, which is on the train to obfuscation. Javascript is definitely obfuscatable if desired.
