The "look-everyone-how-i-can-do-it" idea is likely part of the reason that sites like this use an "app" framework. There is nothing sexy about simpler, less technical websites that do not use "app" frameworks.
The issue however is not the use of an Javascript app framework, the issue is that it is falsely pronounced to be "required" and users are shown a blank page or some other ungraceful failure when they turn JS off. Clearly, JS is not required to retrieve the information, as demonstrated above. Yet, the web developer is hostile to users retrieving the information with clients (user-agents) that do not cater to advertising.
