Standard Google page can use JS and WASM to fingerprint device and detect bots. No-JS page cannot detect bots so it makes sense to shut it down to prevent using it for bot detection bypass.

    That is besides the point.

    I can spoof UA today with lynx, curl or what ever that isnt executing js.

    See topic.
