There might be some technical advantage for the website operator
that can come from doing more data processing at the client side
to reduce server load, although it would often come at the expense
of sending more data to the client and more exposure to security
vulnerabilities. But I suspect it's mainly about making things look
like someone's idea of pretty, in which case a Javascript-optional
framework might be used. I don't know what would cause such a thing
to be written and adopted now though, wonderful as it would be.
