Your argument is fallacious. There are many badly written Web sites,
regardless of the underlying technology.

That depends on the use-case. For example, it is actually a Good Idea to
have a client-side script log you out automatically after you have been idle
for a defined time; it prevents others from abusing your login for cracking
their way into the system. If possible, that timeout should be user-
defined, though. For example, I am frequently irritated by Outlook Web
Access logging me out too soon, and there appears to be no built-in way for
me to increase the timeout from the client side (I can think of a
Greasemonkey script to work around it of course, but not all OWA users are
programmers).

BTW, this is quite off-topic here.
