But disabling it on the browser doesn't allow you to whitelist certain websites, which is the general use case for NoScript. I wish the web didn't break without JS, but that's just not the reality we live in.
Every time you temporarily enable JavaScript / whitelist a website you are performing a micro violation of your own privacy. In some cases even performing a large violation of your own privacy. Sure, there are some cases where I absolutely must have JavaScript turned on, but those cases are so rare that having JS permanently turned off is preferable in most cases.
You cannot violate your own privacy. My privacy is mine to control. And give up, if I so choose.
The same is true every time you access a site, even without JS.
