Because lots of information is easier to take in with animation and ease of use features vs. staring at a wall of text.

I agree. There are some mediums such as interactive diagrams that greatly facilitate learning some kinds of information.

None of that applies to this page, nor `99.${"9".repeat(n)}%` of articles posted including this one.

It is a podcast with a JavaScript audio-player being the main purpose of the page...

The transcript page which is just text also requires it
but then how the pure wall of text does not display on some of those sites if JS is turned off?

Surely you don't need it to just display text?

Everything on that page (except for the audio player) can be done with simple HTML and CSS.
