Actually, I can almost document this.
When discussing the Lynx issue with google directly, a staff member
provided me with a recent article where google stated that most people
wanting to not use JavaScript, or turn it off in browsers are bots.
However Google is also using that thinking to block JavaScript browsers
that are open source.
Agreed on raising the Lynx user profile though.

Why pick on [lynx users]? Did a lynx eat their pet dog when they

I have seen it said - with what level of truth I know not - that there
is misbehaved scraper malware out there that pretends to be lynx. If
this is true, then I suspect that a connection claiming to be lynx is
statistically more likely to be malware than a real user. :-(
Obviously, the fix is to get more people using lynx! :-)
