Sometimes their JavaScript input validation is just to prevent users
from making trouble for themselves by entering data that the software
won't parse, or something. There's not always a security implication for
input validation. Using it to protect users from themselves strikes me
as legitimate, though that's unfortunate since I loathe JavaScript.

And I'd rather that their back-end software just be smarter, so it
doesn't really save them from hates.

But yeah, requiring JavaScript is obnoxious in any case.
