Why wouldn't it? Saying that it will never seems very definitive. It's like these famous quotes that "we will never need more than 4kb of memory" or similar. Saying that something will never change is just a lack of imagination of the future.
There are big pushes behind wasm and Rust is leading the way here in a big way. I think you underestimate people and their will not to run javascript. Rust and WASM in particular will make it so that you can bring whatever language you want to the front end.
I believe that while it's very impractical now, wasm will slowly take over and in the future basically no one will use javascript except for basic things and most sites will use wasm for front end logic.
Why? Because it just makes sense for many reasons. You can use whatever language you want both on the server side and in the browser, you can achieve near native speeds and we're already sending big minified javascript blobs anyway so we may as well just send a binary instead. yes it's very hard to make a SPA with Rust today but it is possible and the tooling will become better over time and especially with other languages joining in.
To me it's clear that using javascript on the front end will become slowly irrelevant as more and more devs ship a binary blob. Right now, we need javascript as a glue but I think that will change as well with time.
