progressive enhancement is kind of a solution looking for a problem

Progressive enhancement is a solution to the problem of giving users the best experience possible without serving unnecessary code, or breaking the site, for users who don't have the capability to run particular features. It's not a perf thing. It's a features thing. And it's a very real problem (see every site that only works in Chrome for details.)
