A search engine is trying to predict which pages will be helpful to you in response to your query. This means it should take "how does the page look to users" as input, which today means executing JavaScript.

Contrapoint: if you keep enabling hostile behaviour, you'll get more of it.

Non-JS web indexing as a default would vastly dimnish the utility of JS-only pages.
