Is there a particular reason why you can't enable JS yourself? Metered connection? Low-end machine?

I consider it an unacceptable form of code deployment. It's unsafe in the computing sense, and leads to a ecosystem where users are less and less in control of the software they use.

Metered wouldn't really matter would it? Scripts are still downloaded, right? (never had JS off, because the web)

Metered could matter - it's very easy to disable downloading of any non-inlined JS (like with uBlock)
