Of course if you are producing FOSS program it makes sense to produce free JS library too. But most applications today and tomorrow will be proprietary - and nothing will change it. You are not seeing code of LWN and you'll not ever see code for most web-sites out there. If they are using proprietary server code then suddenly the idea to produce free javascript side is totally unappealing. The good old Greg's explantion it even more true here then in original place (in kernel).
And if interface between server side and client side can be broken at any time - what good will it do to you if client side will be free?
