I mean, yes, you can do more. But is it realistic? Probably not. Like disabling javascript and css styles.
It baffles me how many websites won't even show the actual, basic content without javascript. I don't care how cool it looks when the paragraph flies in from the side, I just want to read the damn thing.
The modern Internet is pretty terrible. I use ublock origin and no script to make it bearable. But it does add a lot of tedium when I go to a new site and everything is broken and the site's functionality relies on multiple 3rd party scripts.
Progressive Enhancement is the name of the game more web developers need to play.
Basically, the point of it is that a websites' basic functions and content need to work without javascript, and anything on top of that is just making the experience prettier.
There's obviously select things that can't work at all without JS, but those are just a few exceptions.
