You are behind the times. That "junk" theory was revised years ago. Do a search.
Endogenous retroviral sequences are “junk” DNA. Pseudogenes are “junk” DNA. Short repeat sequences are “junk” DNA.
Which is not to say that they are of no use. The “junk” in the basement may or may not be of use someday - but it is not presently being used - so it is deemed “junk”.
