This doesn't have to do with people simply considering javascript to be
a risk. It has to do with them considering a javascript implementation
with no working security model to be something it would be
irresponsible to ship.

A code review which found that the security model formerly
implemented for mailnews had bitrotted with no one paying attention to
it for years, followed by attempts to come up with a viable security
model. The attempts made some progress, but the people working on it
eventually decided it wasn't worth devoting their efforts to it.
