Exactly. IMO a much better analogy would be a vegetarian being presented with a purely carnivorous meal, meat with blood to drink, not being allowed a glass of water, and saying “all I see is meat”. I may be mildly biased as a flexitarian, but I don’t see that as being analogous to removing a steering wheel and complaining about road turns. Maybe analogous to boycotting fossil-fueled vehicles and complaining about a lack of walking paths, bicycle lanes, or charging ports.
- IgorPartola 6y agoIf we are playing with analogies, it’s like riding a horse and getting annoyed at the lack of horse lanes on the highway. Being a vegetarian is a perfectly valid alternative in the modern world. Probably easier being a vegetarian now than ever before. On the other hand a web without JS is for all intents and purposes obsolete technology. Not saying that it’s good or bad, just that such is the reality of things. It would be easier to convince people to ride horses instead of driving cars than to convince even a large majority of websites and we apps to stop using JS.

Sunstein: Nudge - Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness Websites should not use JS to load static content, obsolete or not, this is a bad practice. By nudging website owners and -developers (and let's be honest: Framework devs), we can improve on such lack of common sense.
