Additionally they imply the only motivation for disabling JavaScript is to increase performance and decrease bandwidth. They conveniently don’t mention the other, arguably more prevalent motivations: to increase privacy and security.

It takes more work, but you can turn off a significant number of things that just don't need to be executed and get around a lot of annoying modals and paywalls (or see a lot of blank pages; that happens a lot too).
