I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to read an RSS feed directly, although I subscribe to a lot of them. Is that a popular reading method?

It's a popular presentation format for RSS feeds. And you don't need to somehow attach a Javascript polyfill to an XML feed to make it readable for humans
i do that frequently, especially on podcast feeds where i am not actually interested in the rss entries but in the linked audio files. the rss reader doesn't play those well.
