I see it differently. It allows even lesser skilled folks to build a site or app.
If browsers performed like in 2010[1],we wouldnt have a lot of apps online. I am not talking about unicorn SaaS apps. I am talking about the local county or state government making things available online. The small business putting an app together beyond a basic website.
It may not seem much to you but there is real and massive impact in developing economies. digitalization is single biggest tool against corruption.
The education system in such places do not on average produce great comp sci engineers . the best graduates go to a big company. the rest have a job and build shitty but useful products. All this is not possible without browsers which can take the hit.
[1] 2010-2020 time frame specifically because CPU has broadly stagnated in the last 10y however we have been able to build a lot more complex apps because of browser innovations

It does not take more skill to build a site without JS, only more restraint

Less "apps" and more "basic" websites is exactly what should be encouraged.
