We're still considering and looking into how we can implement a direct link and still have proper quality control.

Direct links are a lot easier to do fraudulent activity with.
I dont see why would be easier,you can still see from where traffic it's coming and what type.Beside i am sure if someone wants to cheat he would cheat javascript without problem.
And also what is big problem with javascript is-
1.not all devices support javascript or they have it disabled
2.Page where widget is can be loaded half and then redirected instead instant redirect when loading page
