Search-engine optimization is a large part.

The fact that the JS frequently results in lower usability is biggest on my list. I've encountered Blogger themes which are so fucking piss-poor I literally cannot read them, even with JS enabled.

If the primary goal of your site is content, stick with vanilla HTML. You're vastly better off for it.

"Not too difficult" and "is actually done by your typical technically naive person" is a few worlds apart.
