One theory I have that progressive enhancement is often shunned is because by proxy, progressive enhancement completely simplifies everything. This goes against the ludicrous over-engineering we see, industrywide, mixed with a weird thing about “the platform” being a bad thing.

Progressive enhancement is after-all, a complete mindset change: hankchizljaw.com/wrote/the-p-in-progressive-enhancement-stands-for-pragmatism/ It's less, make it work without JavaScript and implement SSR and more “how can we distill this down to the lowest possible technical solution”. That there, is the minimum viable experience.
