> This isn't a technical challenge, it's an organizational one

No, it's an economical one. Who will use that web? You mention Twitter, yet are they not dependent on JS for analytics and ad-tracking? The few sites not dependent on such features are already usable on Lynx and Elinks, and the others simply won't use them.

For the advantages, you mention having a good WYSIWYG editor, but the reason you can't add bold or color to a Twitter post is obviously not because they are unable to add those functions, but because they don't want you to do that. Which raises the question: what happens when that editor lets you create something the site doesn't allow you to use?

(By the way, Wikipedia has had a visual editor since 2012, you just have to switch using the "pencil" button: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor)
