Then 98% or so of the web is useless to them.
Then the remaining 2% get all of their business.
Providing they can find the 2% that works for them.
I think you'll find that about 98% of the internet and 90% of the web
works just fine with scripting disabled.
That is not my experience. It only takes trying to log into my Banks
site, my ISP's site or just about any other site and you soon find out
that JS is required on most of them.
The trend on the web, whether it is for better or worse, is towards a
dependency on JS, not away from it. It only takes a thought or two about
the technology referred to as "Web 2.0" to realize it.
