It's a common defense against ubiquitous bad web page behavior. Too often, script is a substitute for something that would work perfectly well with standard HTML & CSS and that in nearly every case slows down the page. Not everyone has the latest hardware and broadband. POTS and lack of speed are common hindrances to usability that scripting too often exacerbates. Those with broken old browsers turn it off to prevent frequent crashing on pages that use script. In Netscape 4, CSS and JS are tied together. Turning off either meanss CSS won't work, which means users get to see their defaults instead of the mousetype created by too many pages that think defaults are too big. And then there are the UAs that don't even support script in the first place. -- "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
