People are never impressed by my strict fasting-between-meals regiment̶.

I, for one, am impressed that you have an entire regiment.
A platoon is the best that most of us could hope for.

Strange. I find people are quite impressed with my one meal a day intermittent fasting.

You can't disable javascript in a browser, but leave "a few minor javascript improvements". So the difference is between allowing all the ad tech, surveillance, malware or not.

Which is fine. If all your JS is doing is adding a few QoL features like collapsing comments, then your site will still be completely usable if the client chooses to not run JS.
Those that run JS will still load probably just as fast as those without it even if it's not truly "no JS."
What's the difference between a site with no JS and a site that has a few lines of inline JS to handle expanding and collapsing comments? Probably nothing, but one sounds better. It's just like how you never hear people bragging about being almost-completely-vegan-except-for-that-one-egg-sandwich-a-month.
