I never assumed that.

You guess wrong. I neither have a car nor TV.

I did work in India for half a year, and I know that.

First of all, sorry if I came across too harsh in arguing. But this
stance here even makes me more confused.

Some Facts:

- There are  a lot of people without Internet access, therefore it is
a luxury item
- Of those who have Internet access, some cannot access JavaScript
dependent content

So, as the Internet is a luxury item it is therefore OK also to ask
for JavaScript to be enabled to make it available to even less people?
