> Most of the web works fine, it does not break most sites the internet.

While I agree with you in spirit, this doesn't seem to be true in practice. I also browse with JS turned off by default, and, in general, whenever I visit a new site, I often find it blank, or completely illegible. After allowing JavaScript for that site, I then often have to play a guessing game of what CDNs or other external resources I have to allow before anything will display. (For example, I was able to see weather on weather.com—hardly anyone's idea of a good Internet citizen, but the first one that springs to mind—simply by allowing JavaScript from their domain; but had to guess around quite a bit before I could get the settings icon to display.)
