>I often see people speak about requiring users to have JS enabled as a problem. But is that really an issue?

With how prevalent tracking on the internet is, despite GDPR's attempts. Yes, it is an issue.

But Javascript has little to do with tracking.

Third party cookies is a much bigger concern there, and mostly orthogonal to the use of Javascript.

JS is used for fingerprinting and very often to load additional trackers.
