I think you are missing the point of what javascript is and what it SHOULD be used for. It's 2017 and HTML5 supports fucking video.

Does there exist a good argument against AJAX as a technology?

It should enhance the experience, not make it impossible to use without.
Imagine posting a comment, javascript could dynamically insert it and maybe update existing list of comments. Even without javascript enabled posting a comment should be possible though with any dynamic updating, the page would have to be updated. What millenial web devs do though is remove the ability to do anything if javashit is disabled. Totally not fine.

What makes you think you are entitled to use a website? I don't give a fuck about idiots like you who go around yelling that browsers should only display html documents and do nothing else. Yeah, I could just do everything on the server and act like I still lived in the 90s but I choose not to. Comfy development cycle > cries of tinfoil neckbeards.

JavaScript itself is alright. It's asynchronous functionality is especially neat and the syntax is quite intuitive.

I really enjoy sites that only use their own 1st party JS. What I don't like is having to enable scripts from jsdeliver, AJAX and cloudflare to handle simple tasks like showing/hiding elements or sites that use a discourse plugin for displaying their forum/comments.
