If you are a manager, then you will surely understand.
It's mostly because the website owner/responsible believes that the cost of producing a "text only" version would be bigger than the benefits achieved. If the decision is right or not, I wouldn't know - and, frankly, neither most of people who make the decision (albeit being "confident"). I seriously doubt that any thorough analysis is done on the subject, people just believe that almost everyone uses JS and images. And they might be right, or not.
Sometimes it might also be a matter of ignorance. It might happen that the responsible is not aware of this question (and neither is "made aware" by the technical people).
