>Whether websites have to work without any JavaScript at all is a question almost as old as the web itself. By now, the answer is clear: No, they don’t. It’s firmly established that websites should be more than just structured and styled text. JavaScript execution is an integral part of (almost) every browser.
The page this text is on, proves that isn't true!
You‘re absolutely right, not every web page „should“ include interactive elements.
What I wanted to express is that web pages shouldn’t be forced into being only structured styled Text and instead should be encouraged to embrace interactivity.
For instance, you can load up the same static page for everybody, then after it's loaded, serve some small personalized Javascript that refers to your particular user account which then customizes the page.
