Because it's trivially easy to do, and it *is* a better experience than: a 
user goes to your page, tries to add a comment, finds that "This fucking 
thing doesn't even work, WTF? It's just a goddamn form submission! How do 
you screw that up?" and then if they still care, enable JS and then reload 
the page, possibly much more slowly this time, reenter the captcha and try 
again. You can argue that "everyone should just conform and keep JS on!", 
but that's never going to happen (and for legitimate reasons). Besides, as 
developers, it's *our* responsibility, not the user's, to make things "just 
work".
