It enables SaaS and makes economic sense and sadly the latter is the only thing that matters when it comes to mass human behaviour.

Makes economic sense for cloud providers that is. For users, developers, content creators, and all others, not so much.

eval() has no economic purpose. It hasn't been removed by browsers purely because that would break backward compatibility.

Non-same origin Javascript does not have economic purpose either. I believe, that it will be completely eradicated from browsers within this century (if not in couple of decades).
