The most cartoonish misrepresentation of progressive enhancement is that it means making everything work without JavaScript. No. Progressive enhancement means making sure your core functionality works without JavaScript. In my book https://resilientwebdesign.com/, https://resilientwebdesign.com/chapter5/#Mat%20Marquis: Lots of cool features on the Boston Globe don’t work when JS breaks; “reading the news” is not one of them.
A lot of services that self-identify as “apps” will claim that even their core functionality requires JavaScript. Surely I don’t expect Gmail or Google Docs to provide core functionality without JavaScript?
