I agree misunderstand each other.
What are "all those things" that "are already standard"? And why should a rando government or other site requiring an API mean it should be available to all websites everywhere?
Note, I didn't even mention javascript nor disabling it altogether, and I don't wish to imply we shouldn't secure any and all APIs/features.
I'm saying
(1) we will never secure all APIs/features;
(2) they are ever growing so it would be futile even if we could secure the present ones;
(3) even if all the APIs are "secure", they will be misused against users, so they should not be available by default like they currently are;
(4) yes, I do think static/simple sites should be usable without JS.
I used to think of Stallman's browsing habits as silly, but there may come a time where I will visit the web-at-large only from other people's or dedicated-use devices.
