Even “web apps” don’t necessarily need javascript. Is a forum a web app? It has plenty of user interaction and forums without javascript have existed since before HTML. Even stuff like Mastodon doesn’t necessarily need javascript, it can work as static pages.
There’s a reason nobody uses forums anymore and it’s because static content feels and is extremely dated. The vast vast majority of users expect interactivity

I agree that these are more of a continuum than a binary.
