So if for any chance you can't use JS (outdated browser, outdated system, text-based browser, JS disabled by an admin, JS won't load, assistive technology) then... it's your fault?

outdated browser - your fault, and a foolish thing to use considering the modern, online threat landscape
outdated system - your fault, and like above you probably shouldn’t connect to the internet with that thing
text-based browser - your fault, and it shouldn’t surprise anyone that websites break when you use a browser that misses major functionality
JS disabled by an admin - your admin’s fault. Go complain to them, not to anyone else
JS won’t load - depends on reason for why JS fails to load
assistive technology - depends on the reason; your assistive software may be broken or misconfigured, or the website fails to follow best practice

So, if a webpage fails to load of Firefox it's our fault for not using Chrome? Following your logic.

Braille interpreters (think a row of nubs that raises up the relevant letter as it "reads" the page) used to have issues with some webpages unless you accessed them via text based browsers. No idea if they still struggle as much but text based browsing will always have a function and place

Or what if you don't have internet? Is it your fault you can't access the website?

Also, if your browser does not support latest TLS and does not have latest root certificates, it's your fault. /s

Let me load HTTP without the S if I want to.

No, that let's companies man-in-the-middle you.

ISPs literally couldn't help themselves inject ads and other scripts that lagged and broke everything on every website all to chase a few bucks.

HTTPS prevents them from doing that.
