Why? Every browser has JS, and it's a core web technology.

I quite often use Lynx[1], which does not support JS.

You and GP are missing the point: the site uses an ocean-liner's worth of JavaScript in order to do anything at all. HTML is also a core web technology and is arguably more "core" than JavaScript.

Screen readers integrate with browsers, they don't implement an entire browser on their own, so yes.
