I would guess that it would be because Notion is mostly designed to be used as a personal note-taking/todo/trello app (which it's great at!)

Though it's possible to "publish" or share your notes it doesn't look like a well designed use of the platform.




More irritatingly, Google's cache appears to have it available, but says "404" if you actually try to access the cached version (my usual workaround for these JS-only-app-sites.)

If you are actually editing the content then I agree that using JS makes sense and could be obligatory; but then, sharing/publishing content in what should obviously be a read-only form should really turn it into a static page. It'd save them some bandwidth too, given that readers really do not need all the functionality the JS has. (The app-*.js on that page is over 4MB!) Unfortunately common sense is not so common.
