Depends on what kind of website we are talking about.
If it’s a website whose purpose to display an article or images or similar, I agree with you.
If its main purpose is something that requires interaction by the user (i.e. it’s a “web app”), then it’s not a reasonable expectation that it should work without JS, and then I agree with the OP.
Even “web apps” don’t necessarily need javascript. Is a forum a web app? It has plenty of user interaction and forums without javascript have existed since before HTML. Even stuff like Mastodon doesn’t necessarily need javascript, it can work as static pages.

Web apps predate JavaScript by many years. The kids writing websites these days just don’t know how.
Got to disagree there. Websites should work without js. Sure it shouldn’t have fancy animations or whatever but I should be able to read it.
