Understand the JavaScript SEO basics

I, for one, would welcome a force with the size and influence of Google telling devs to cut the Javascript crap. To me, it’s like violating the conditional rendering rule: there are plausible reasons to want to do it, but Google is right to push back on it.

It’s not as if totally legitimate websites don’t have reasonable technical alternatives here.

Wasn't this basically AMP though? The solution to the monster web developers were creating?

No, that was a big ol’ web cache.

The solution to this is: “you have one year to make your webpages readable by the googlebot without javascript. Have a nice day.”
