that statement actually demonstrates and perpetuates the very core of the problem - static HTML should not be considered as a secondary "fallback" - it is the fundamental foundation upon which CSS and scripts (if any) are added only as an enhancement it is the mentality that javascript is the de-facto requisite for every "modern" site that drives people to start every website they make from day one using some trendy javascript framework; regardless of whether it offers any practical benefit, or just mindless "rapid" development, or just beautiful bloat - i quite suspect that many of these javascript frameworks would actually be a hinderance to anyone trying to make such a site fully operable without js in other words, rather than considering it to be an omission of an optional fallback feature to publish a website that is not fully operable without js - it is more appropriate to plainly call it out as irresponsible engineering that needlessly excludes visitors by neglecting the fundamental nature of the medium
