Well that's true for anything, so it means nothing. I know someone who was told with a straight face, in a meeting about an out of control memory leak in some software, "not leaking memory wasn't in the requirements."
I mean, they're not wrong, but I've handled that stupidity by making sure my next requirements included "Do not have sexual intercourse with your coworkers" and "Be a professional software engineer"
Edit: It's kinda like the story of the guy on the ship who was forced to write accurate logs and wrote "The captain was not drunk today"
If the modern frontend framework can't display that without JS, then I think it's fair to call it a shitty frontend framework.
