Try making a small gui based game like tic tac toe or something without using a framework and you will see why you need maths. We generally don't realize this because most of the time it's offloaded to some external library.
A simple easy to follow example would be plotting with d3.js, imagine setting up ticks on an axis without using d3 scale function for a dynamic dataset.
