This is often less about the developers not knowing a technique and more about the constraints they're working under. Maybe there's a third party auth library they're using that requires JS. Maybe either they or or their management have other priorities than removing JS from the login screen. It's not that hard to believe that scriptless login would fall fairly low on a team's priority list behind features more likely to drive revenue, etc.

That doesn't explain the lack of a noscript message, which is the difference between "we really need you to turn on javascript" and "as you can plainly see, our page is broken".
