What sort of progress will be stopped by encouraging websites to present content as content instead of as an "app"? What specifically would you do to make websites that don't work without images or JavaScript more accessible, apart from making them work without images or JavaScript?

Jetpacks aren't widespread for important safety and technical reasons. The existence of search engines demonstrates that non-browser agents are technically possible.

Zeppelins are also technical possible. They're just not economically feasible.

People are often perfectly happy to present content as content. But when their economic interests lead them to another approach, aesthetic outrage from a tiny minority won't change that.
