This isn't the first time this has happened with PubMed. When they first introduced their javascript application version years ago (the old site now) it wouldn't even show text of abstracts without JS. But eventually they made it so the text was always there, just badly styled without JS on.
The same thing happened with the recent SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System redesign (https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/ https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/). Initially they planned to only have the very heavy SPA but after a few months of comments and complaints the team made a really excellent "basic HTML" fallback, https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/core https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/core .
No doubt PubMed will implement a similar full featured fallback to sane HTML if they want to remain relevant to researchers.
