So what they want isn't the power to turn off JS in their own browser, but the power to turn it off in other people's browsers (at least the browsers of people developing websites). More seriously, I guess they might want a way of avoiding sites that don't have a good no-script experience. Perhaps if there were a trustworthy way to vote on that (or detect it automatically), someone could offer an extension which puts scary red boxes around hyperlinks which point to such sites.
