This is nice sounding, but many modern web-pages use extensive client-side rendering. Sure, you can work around that without needing a full JS environment, but doing so is ad-hoc and you wind up having to write complex code on a per-site basis. I do a bunch of web-scraping for hobby shit, and I've love to be able to not have to shell out to chromium for some sites, but unfortunately the modern web basically means you're stuck with it.
