Sure, except the major point is this, Progressive Enhancement [0].
This table is useless if it doesn't load without JS, especially if it is a table that claims to work everywhere.

specifically, data rendered as an html table that is then "transformed" in javascript.
if I'm reading the example correctly, then this is how to have progressive enhancement with this module.
If you don't use software that parses and displays HTML, then plain HTML tables won't work either.
It’s an enhanced data table.
But, I guess that could be a feature to allow your data tables to fall back to some static table.
That would be a good idea for this table. Privacy conscious people like me would welcome this.
This is surely a satirical comment?
Nope, many people (sadly technical people) browse the web without JS turned on.
It makes the web a whole lot faster with no scripts running. (especially on mobile)
