That doesn't counter the fact that it's an image that won't display without JavaScript.

True. The very very few people who disabled JavaScript will have to add some more websites to their allow list.

It's not the "very-very few". It's the combined population of several large countries.
Because you're immediately excluding people on old devices, on underpowered devices, on devices on bad networks, on devices with weird/incomplete/glitchy/limited support for what you need, sites where JS just errors out (and dies, because there are no recovery options if there's a global JS error)... And the list just goes on, and on, and on.
The inability of developers to look beyond their latest-and-greatest dev machines with unlimited power and everything under the sun enabled is just mind boggling.
