In a way you are right - and if search engines don't index javascript generated content then that habit might go away instead. On the other hand many sites are probably enforcing the javascript generated content in order to enforce trackers to work as well.
When I look at some web sites, I get the impression that the person who built the web site was not caring about good communication, but was wanting to get experience with JavaScript.
Look at the Los Angeles Times [latimes.com] newspaper using the NoScript browser extension [noscript.net]. It's amazing how many other places to which you are expected to connect besides the Los Angeles Times.
Many web sites expect you to connect with GoogleAnalytics.com and other Google web sites such as GoogleTagServices.com, so Google follows you.
maybe just maybe you should serve the actual content in the page and THEN style it with CSS and add useful features with javascript NOT serve the whole thing as a javascript page with a abstract virtual DOM ala facebook...
it helps people as well as machines to make things clear....
you are an asshat.
