Sorry, you're right of course. But anything like a SPA where javascript populates and/or changes the DOM - that's not accessible to a plain client without rendering engine.

Sure, but the issue isn’t JavaScript, the issue is that people are building their websites as web apps and when it isn’t necessary.

Java applets and flash had the same issues.
