Are we looking at the same compatibility tables? Caniuse lists it as working in android chrome and opera with the exception of <thead> elements, which are not relevant here because OP's example was about <h1>, not <thead>. I'll give you IE, but that's already ignored by many.

Forms are still a thing. Then there's hover animations, summary/details, video elements and a few other interactive things that don't need javascript.
There also is a middle ground between "static page" and "huge JS bundle". A little javascript usually isn't what makes web pages slow.
