I don't know about the public. That is many people I don't have control of. I do know that I can do it myself and it works fine and I can work around things.
I think this is true for many technical people. And I think doing this would encourage many of us to think of better ways to design and implement no-JS fallback functionality when making things for the public to use.

The EU is tasked with protecting their public in a way that you are not.

Just to refresh, the context of this sub-thread is about what people outside of the EU should do. Those living in the EU already subscribe to social policies based on positive liberty and can ignore discussions about individual responsibility for their behavior.
Sure, you try explaining that to the general public, and why most of the sites they visit don't work anymore. It's hard enough to manage as a techie. This is the same argument snake oil purveyors use to complain about health and safety regulations, and it's silly for the same reasons.
