> JS is a fine tool for making rich, interactive UIs in the browser and IMO avoiding it at all costs shouldn't be a priority

If you want a site to work in Tor Browser then it had better work without JS.

Never have I ever worked at a company where tor browser usage even shows up in our metrics (would it even show up in metrics? probably not), nor have we heard from anyone about using tor browser, so to us, those users simply don't exist or if they exist our resources are so limited that it's not worth pandering to that usecase.

Considering something like 98-99% of users at our current company use chrome or safari, we don't even prioritize firefox / edge unless there are user complaints (which there aren't many of because we use modern JS so there are generally only tiny differences between browsers if any). Again our resources are limited and there's only so much we can do

By not supporting Firefox, you're assisting Google in taking over the web.

Most people do not want/need this, so the original point stands

Some do. Some specifically want the website not to work in Tor.
