There's no perfect solution but any solution is still better than none. Why do you keep a lock on your door if I can break it in 30 seconds? Your computer is even there! I can easily add a key logger there, why do you have a password then if all I need is to do that? You aren't stopping me thus any protection you add is meaningless.
Let say that having a full web browser takes 50% more resources (if you block javascript, you probably already use the argument that it use 99% of your phone battery so you can agree that 50% is pretty conservative), than you just blocked 50% of the tentative JUST by requiring it. That's seems pretty effective already and you haven't done much yet.
Now add all the information that you can gather using Javascript. Aren't you also blocking Javascript because it's capacity to fingerprint you? Again another easy gain you can get.
> honest customers are the most inconvenienced
A tiny fraction of the honest customers are inconvenienced, a huge portion of them allow Javascript. They probably inconvenienced more by blocking older versions of TLS.
