I understand your point about supporting old hardware but the economics or the mental health don’t allow to support any kind of hardware forever.
I had to support obsolete computers running internet explorer too many times in my life and I am glad that I don’t have to right now.
We also eventually stopped the Minitel, even though it was still used by a few people.

This said, not JavaScript is often an option too for entire categories of the web ...and I say this as someone whose career has mostly been built on CSS & JavaScript. There’s a lot of old machines that should and could be able to read the sites we have today if wasn’t for that pesky scripting language being used where it didn’t need to (looking at you blogs and news sites that blocked your image loading behind JavaScript even though native loading="lazy" exists and would be a progressive enhancement).
