It's not my personal opinion. For example [1] and [2]. No doubt there are more. Javascript can cause issues for assistive readers, and may be disabled, so should only be used to enhance a website, rather than be essential to its function. We should not cause unnecessary problems for readers that cannot use Javascript. Did the approval process consider accessibility requirements?
