Agreed to a point. For some apps user interaction is required, and progressive enhancement isn't possible.

For non-apps though, it's still very important. Articles should not require a JS bundle to load. When JS is used, it should be optimized.

Unfortunately the web seems to be moving away from a progressive enhancement world.

Momentum seems to be with whatever is easiest. JavaScript frameworks, analytics companies, and ad companies would probably all have to make progressive enhancement the default way for that to change.
