I have Javascript disabled, so I guess that's the reason.

It would be nice if the site didn't fall back to that all-backslashes
representation for non-JS visitors.

You can't really expect to browse the modern web without Javascript.

Sorry, you can. I do it every day.

Is

raw latex?

Do you consider this:

  \[\begin{split}\sum_{m \leq i < n} f(i)\end{split}\]

readable?

I can't make heads nor tails of it.

It would be fine if we could simply have the HTML+CSS that MathJax generates.

That's a gross exaggeration.
Nicely formatted math is possible, even in HTML+CSS - MathJax demonstrates it, the final result after it did its work is indeed just HTML.

I would be unable to even word such a requests, because my knowledge about how these web pages are built is practically nonexistent.

AFAICT MathJax scans the page for <span class="math">, parses the Latex it finds, and replaces the contents of the <span> with whatever output format is desired. That's essentially broken by design, since you can't have a better format than Latex as a fallback display. Unless MathJax allows a better input format by itself.
