The notion of surfing the web without JavaScript enabled is increasingly antiquated. You can't even log into Google without JS enabled; it's necessary to mandate it because of iframe attacks.
Not all web pages are (or at least need to be) web apps. Logging into an account vs reading a static page is apples to oranges.
Mandating JS to get any content, no matter how static, seems like the start of the death of e.g. Linked Data and a the web as an open standards based platform. I know I'm in the minority but diversity is a strength, and there are few places more important than the web.
I don't see why JavaScript is antithetical to linked data. If it's because the web page can't be statically analyzed, that's a solvable problem---you dynamically execute the page in a JavaScript sandbox.
To whom is it increasingly antiquated? Are you calling me old or what? I use uMatrix always, and allow pages i want to load JavaScript, and I try to get more and more people to do this actually when they say they have issues with bilion popups and adds. Using addblockers should be increasingly a positive trend not antiquated unless you want to part of botnet.
