Well, you would be surprised to heard that, actually, the vast majority of text websites (blogs, news, etc…) works pretty well without javascript (I’m browsing in offpunk by default).
In fact, they often actually work better: I can read the text without any other annoyance.
There are rare exceptions like this one and some personal blog from developers who insists on not putting the text in the HTML but through Javascript.
It is not only annoying, this is a total misunderstanding of what the web should be and, TBH, borderline stupid when done on purpose. (because it is more complex, it breaks most accessibility and it doesn’t add anything.)
