"In an email to TechCrunch, a company spokesperson claimed that the change is intended to "better protect" Google Search against malicious activity, such as bots and spam, and to improve the overall Google Search experience for users."

How does Javascript protect against bots. For example, Javascript does not protect against Googlebot. Javascript will not stop bots, spam or improve the overall experience for users ("ad targets"). There are reasons Google is pushing Javascript that have nothing to do with "protecting Google search against malicious activity". The change is for Google not for its ad targets. The spokesperson will not mention the reasons and how they benefiot the company at the expoense of ad targets. The question is why she won't mention them.
