Perhaps consider that coming on here and being condescending about the impact your own browsing habits have on the web experience of your (very small, but very vocal) JavaScript-disabling demographic makes the rest of us web developers really not very interested in building sites that meet your demands.

I agree that the site shouldn't need JavaScript to function, but I don't think comments like these help the goal of helping the content creators achieve progressive enhancement.

OP is a bit excessive but he's right --- this website doesn't work for people without JavaScript or on mobile phones.

I read the entire article on my cell phone. The only problem I had (not sure what's causing this) is that if I accidentally selected text, it would jump to the top of the page, selecting everything along the way.

Not condescending, just critical.

Constructive criticism is a good thing.

Yes. This, however, isn't it.

And yet, nobody has provided an answer the question: why?

Because it was snarky and off topic in a classic bikeshedding way, making for uninteresting discussion.
