Isn't this a bit extreme? Many websites use client-side rendering via frameworks like Angular, React, etc.

I find it extreme if a site requires JavaScript + hundreds of kilobytes of frameworks in order to display some text. But you're right, such a measure would probably hide useful content from HN users, thus making HN itself less useful.
The point is that for delivering document content like articles to browsers, client side rendering is inferior, and they should be depending on angular or react to render the content.
I do think it's a little extreme to ban sites that do this, but I also don't think that sites should do it and if banning them from HN means they won't then maybe that's not so crazy. I don't think banning them from HN will help, though.
