You're getting downvoted because you miss the point. You want the web to cater to you, and big companies with infinite resources will, but smaller companies just won't. The cost to support users such as you is just not worth it, you're too small of a segment. People are going to focus their design + resources on the 99% of users who have decided they want the web to work properly.

I mean, shit, lots of startups completely eschew IE support, and they're a way more significant portion of the market than the neckbeards who disable javascript.

You don't understand. The web is content-based. Like motherfuckingwebsite.com [0] shows, you don't need dynamic content to present your message. If I need to download 1MB of JS to see your freaking tagline, then that's ridiculous.
