With obfuscated JavaScript you get all the sematics and for the most time all the global functions and data structures names since they aren't obfuscated away. This is a lot more structure and information than you get in your average bytecode code (especially since bytecode tends to be much more low level than something like obfuscated JavaScript).

The point isn't that you can't decompile bytecode-languages, but that the decompiled bytecode is a lot harder to maintain than obfuscated JavaScript...

Having a standard bytecode would make it much harder to steal code which is much needed as web and mobile applications shift towards using lots of JavaScript.

Currently it's way too easy to steal everything since the whole source is exposed. You can obfuscate JavaScript and CSS, but the main semantics will still be there and someone that's interested will still steal your code (this has happend twice to us, even if all of our JS is obfuscated using Google Closure...) The same thing could happen with bytecode, but their takeout would not be maintainable. Obfuscated JavaScript is still maintainable, since the structure and semantics are largely there.
