JavaScript crypto is simply not a protection against that attack model. It is protection against the attack model of the passive eavesdropper. That's all I'm saying. I completely agree with what you say.

Whether you view that attack model as something worth considering depends entirely on context. But it's a valid view for many applications. As long as people don't use it with any expectations of security under active attack models, I'd say that's okay.
