"... which can't be said about most modern websites."
While I understand and agree with your point, I have personally found this quoted portion to be a false assumption.
To me, "works" means I can retrieve the content of the page without using JS. If the websites we are discussing are ones where the primary purpose is reading, like HN, most will "work" for me without JS, so long as I do not rely on try using a "modern browser" to retrieve the content. In fact, I cannot even think of a single website meant for reading that I cannot read without a Javascript-enabled browser.
Any newspaper website with a paywall or cookiewall or anti-adblock thingy maybe?
That's not much readable without some trickery
Not trickery, just avoid using "modern browser" to make the HTTP request.
Name any newspaper website you think is "not much readable" without Javascript or cookies and I can prove that is a false assumption.
