The question does not deserve an answer, but you are obviously not going to realize and will remain enraged, which would be counter-productive.
Firstly you are missing that there is choice about browsers; but no choice whatsoever in a scripting language in browsers. They are asking their users to make a choice, one that will not hurt their users. By removing all use of JS they would actively hurt their users.
Secondly you are missing that even as CEO of Mozilla he does not remain in control of JS, even if he created it.
