🔥 Doctor, my leg hurts when I stab it with this JavaScript!

To be fair, I wouldn't exactly call a blankish page that says "you need Javascript" to be especially functional. It may be not "broken", but it's equally not useful. What's really annoying is this: why don't browsers detect JS is needed on a page and if its setting is turned off, inline a text warning or show a message box?
Because it really isn't the browser's place to do so.
No, but at least it tells the user that the page will never load because of the user's settings, which he/she can then change (if using the site is more important than the settings), as opposed to a page that is loading discoslowly or will never load because something server-side is broken.
Yes it doesn't but it is sufficiently rare (except for some fuckers on here) the that it doesn't come up in any QA or user testing and thus it is frequently forgotten about.
It kinda for the same reasons I never bother with (LOL)Opera because I never see it on the GA stats (at least not in the UK).

We had one user agent show up this week that I haven't seen in a while.
Identified itself as AmigaVoyager 2.95 on 680x0 hardware. That thing doesn't even have JS. (New feature for 3.0, which was... 1999?)
Suffice to say: smells like a bot trying to play cute.

That's three concepts I don't want to encounter before breakfast!

Only if you're , they are quite possible on the intertubes otherwise.

You're OK with them after dinner then?
