It's also because of the scrapers.

Without javascript, you can't realistically do the "prove you are human bits", which I seem to have to do many times a day this year.

Anubis did implement a 'No-JS' challenge, but it's super trivial for scrapers to overcome. They just have to parse the refresh tag and retry after the specified interval. Not even 'proof of work', but increasingly the proof of work isn't considered sufficient and many sites are back to the captcha family of bullshit.
