JS was the only way to do some things, and one of a few limited ways to do anything.

JS was the only way to **performantly** do some things, and yes, one of a few limited ways.
-
but since the other things failed, doesn't that tell us something other than "mandatory -> adoption"?
-
Those factors led to significant adoption of Flash and Java. Adoption isn't permanent.
-
Java Web Start had very little adoption. But "options" != "mandatory" -- we're losing the thread.
-
Let's say we pass a law mandating software be developed in JS or C++. Will increase adoption of both, I predict.
-
bad analogy: 1. web was never the only platform 2. Flash & JS were dev'ed for web 3. competition an early factor
-
1. since the web was never the only platform, mandating bad options could also have killed the platform.

if you think "it's easier to use JS" is === mandatory, and mandatory === adoption, we've made some progress here.
