There's a push towards more server-side rendering, though it's generally a pain in the butt at the moment.

Also, executing JavaScript when scraping isn't that difficult, depending on what you're using to scrape. Node.js has Puppeteer: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer

I agree that executing js when scraping isn't difficult, but wonder what that will look like a couple decades into the webassembly world. It might be closer in difficulty to trying to parse a netflix stream when scraping.
