If I see a website that fails to display text with JS disabled I close it and never come back out of respect to blind people who also can't visit that site.

This is a common myth. The vast majority of blind and partially sighted users don't use text-based web browsers. They use normal web browsers in conjunction with screen readers; these browsers can execute Javascript normally. There is nothing inherently inaccessible about Javascript-based content.
Screen readers work just fine with regular browsers and JavaScript - it's not like visually impaired users are using Lynx.
