It's a niche need. People who do this at scale keep their own
copies of the entire Debian repository (I do, at work.) People
who do this as one-offs tend not to share your specific needs.

... because for almost everyone, it's better in the kernel.

This paragraph made sense up until the word active, and then it
went right off the rails.
You seem to be conflating three different things.
iptables is a firewall mechanism that allows you to reject
unwanted traffic based on properties of IP packets.
If you're running someone else's malicious code, you have lost
your security game already. Don't do that.
"AI" either doesn't exist or has been around for decades,
depending on how you want to define it. Your "they" is
undefined. JavaScript is just a language; there's nothing
special about it that can't be done in Haskell, Forth or
Fortran. Web browsers tend to implement it, but you can also
turn it off altogether -- e.g. I can think of three different
mechanisms that are practical:
Use Firefox with the Disable JavaScript extension.
Use Firefox with ublock Origin and turn off JavaScript
execution.
Use a non-JavaScript equipped browser.
