Not really. I'd say >80% of sites I visit are accessible, in that I can read the content of the page I want to look at, with javascript disabled.
Of the remainder, I can temporarily switch javascript back on for a tab with two clicks, if I want to read the contents enough, and I think the odds of that site having especially malicious javascript on it is slim. (e.g. mastodon instances)
I can also create permanent exceptions for websites in a couple of clicks too, and there are some frequently-visited sites that I have done that for.
Don't think of those who disable javascript as browsing with no javascript. Think of it as browsing with javascript disabled by default.
