But your code does not work in every case:
Image a user that would like to access your website using an even older setup than simply no JS, let's say he's using lynx on a 50 by 20 character ssh session on an old Android phone with a broken keyboard.
Your website will look like shit, it will be absolutely unusable and the user will have a mental breakdown.
If you counter that your website is only one line of text that says "Hello world!", and that would work on my imaginary lynx setup, let me counter as well:
I am now a user that has no computer at all. I would like to access your content by calling. Where is the phone number I can call to talk to a human in my language, at 03:30am in the morning?
Remember, not everyone is using the latest technology! A company should be accessible even if the user doesn't have WASM/React/JS/CSS/HTML/HTTP/TCP/a computer/a Chomsky universal-grammar based spoken language/...
I think we all have edge cases we simply cannot serve. I agree that there might be different thresholds, though. :-)
