Exactly. It is a business decision that each team makes. They need to decide if it is worth the extra man-hours and resources to appease a very small group of people who make a choice to turn off a big part of the web today. The best you can do is throw up a noscript message explaining why your app needs JavaScript.

"The best you can do is throw up a noscript message explaining why your app needs JavaScript."

Unfortunately, this is almost always a message explaining that your website demands Javascript, without an explanation as to why. I have yet to see the noscript message that says, "We only had time to create one version of the website, and we are too busy doing other things to create a non-Javascript version." I am not even sure what sort of technical reason could be given for requiring Javascript for form submissions or hyperlink functionality...
