Great. Now simply reading a page without JS will become impossible, let alone interacting with it.

Two words. Reader mode. It strips all the cruft out and gives you the text with a sensible set of styles.
So what? Reading a page without HTML5 will also mangle some pages, some pages in the 90's required vbscript. Technology isn't bad. It's been years since I've heard someone suggest that non-js support is something to design against. Laughable, really.
