You say that, but I doubt that in practice. If the form is your bank login or bill pay or anything else you are locked into I really doubt you will give up because of some personal opinion on JavaScript and instead spend the next 30 minutes calling somebody to complete a similar action over the phone.

The goal is to achieve accessibility as equivalently as possible, with as little enhancement as possible, and yet often not force a page change because of form submission.

Calling someone a liar to their face without checking their body of work first just leaves a lot of egg on yours.
