Why on earth would you want to load JS before content is loaded but not after? If you are able to assemble the page based on data sources before loading the page, you can just server-render the damn thing and disable JS altogether?

JS is essential for polished UX when you have highly interactive components. Technically mapquest got server-rendered interactive maps working, but no one would choose that over the usability of Google Maps or OpenStreetMaps today
