Tag for JavaScript exists but it is off-topic on superuserSuper User

I had asked a question onabout JavaScript in Superuseron Super User and eventually deleted the question (as people voted to close and started "down-voting"downvoting). And for that matter, the question did not warrant an expert level answer (or comment).

My question now is, if such questions are off-topic, why have such tags in superuseron Super User in the first place?

(P.S: I do not know if stackoverflowStack Overflow came first or superuserSuper User came first. So if such questions were being answered in superuseron Super User in the beginning and the tag stays only to keep those older questions alive., pardon my ignorance.)
