I think you're spot on. I've noticed working with various people and ages that we get stuck in our beliefs. Their information is outdated and they haven't realized yet that screen readers and security are dated arguments. The only hardcore crowd who disables Javascript entirely are people who are paranoid about ads and the uber nerd (as seen here on HN). As a web developer myself, I would never waste what busy time I have catering to this audience. It's the same argument for why, at a certain point, you have to make a clearcut decision about how far back into legacy browsers you care to support. Large parts of Asia are stuck on IE6 because they have pirated Windows XP, but most of us don't care and probably don't need to.
