If it is 10 times faster on average, safer and generally less annoying it might have a natural advantage.

We could get some of the advantages if we just started shunning JS and telling people ("Proudly Javascript-free and free of third party trackers! You might have noticed that this site loaded quicker than other sites you have seen lately. Mostly this is because we don't bug your machine with insert-carefully-crafted-explanation-here.")
