Yeah, JavaScript is a bit of an odd one out here, and I can obviously see the value in terms of providing a minimal build (in a way that's of less import to Ruby/Python users, say).
That said, it all depends what benefits you want to get out of Bazel. For us, incremental builds were the key thing we cared about - minimizing JAR size was important, but we already had a decently good handle on that.
