nobody is going to write 10000 lines of JS

This is outright false. First, distinguishing between the browser and not is meaningless; you are singling out the language, not the environment. Second, projects like Google Maps, Gmail, etc, are hundreds of thousands of lines of client side JavaScript; Slack is definitely at least tens of thousands; etc.

Finally, complex algorithms problems can be solved, studied and analyzed without writing a single line of code

The correct implementation of algorithms is it's own skill that requires significant experience and knowledge. Exactly because of what you said, being good at math does not mean you are good at programming, is why I called it out.
