Fair, some websites do need JavaScript though. Such as webapps. Could they be server-side rendered?

SSR is a thing and could be used to render most content remotely without pissing off readers.

They know ssr is a thing which is why they used that term. But ssr produces a static page or static component, where webapps often require some level of interactivity for their basic functionality, such as reacting to server events. They’re asking if that can be achieved with ssr

Depending on the web app, the real solution would be a much more simplified JavaScript free version

Why spend time and money on something that will end up being only half functional. It costs money to support that.
