It is a fun mental exercise. I love this stuff, and that's the motivation.
I once wrote an emulator for a 4 bit microprocessor in Befunge (a 2D esoteric programming language). Then, I was definitely showing off something that really does not matter. 100% useless.
This is a little different. The motivation is the same, but it also proves that you cannot sanitise Javascript by removing letters or words. It's very easy to assume that such sanitisation works, and such an assumption can be a security-critical mistake. I've actually read this article before because I needed to solve such a problem.
