this is pure speculation, and I offer up my Standard Disclaimer* before I
pontificate, but here goes:

CSS is tied into the DOM, javascript manipulates the DOM; I gather that in
the bowels of the browser the cleanest place to turn off javascript is to
shut down the DOM, thus killing the engine that processes CSS directives.

to as if I do.
