“How do you know if someone has disabled JavaScript? Don’t worry” the joke goes … “they’ll tell you”.

There’s always someone in a browser tech thread that has to proclaim their security high ground to the unwashed masses.

In my opinion, these comments do not add value to the discussion and should avoided.

They were prompted to mention it by another user, though. Maybe the comments that don't add any value are "might as well disable JS."

Specially since, I think, many of us would do it if it weren't so inconvenient. I wish websites could only run JS if they're "installed" PWA style.

Absolutely agreed. If we're going to be hyperbolic, the web itself is an attack vector. Better stay disconnected.
