Because javascript is one of the most popular attack vectors out there.
CSRF, XSS, drive bys, you name it. Javascript does plenty in the
background that we never see and that is why it is so popular with
hackers. I never enter a new or unknown site with Javascript enabled
in my browser and I take a look at what it is attempting to load
before I allow it to run. I use the noscript plugin and it has saved
my rear end multiple times....

Now *leaving* javascript disabled is another story, but entering a
site, yeah, turning off javascript makes for a funky experience but
well designed sites still deliver content without it and give you a
heads up about what the site won't provide when javascript is off.

unless

they don't have any interest in using the Internet? Turning it off
would preclude you from using almost every modern website there is.

I guess the point is, why would Nathan need to demonstrate his
example

working without JavaScript support? That would be almost as pointless
as demonstrating it without CSS support.

Lack of a mouse, on the other hand, is a valid point. You should be
able

to navigate to any clickable element with the keyboard and hit enter
to trigger the event - but that requires JavaScript:)
