Well, I sorta understand; the modern 'active
content' mania causes me
to grind my teeth, too.
Oh, it doesn't make me grind my teeth. I just ignore it. I have no
interest in running software completely untrusted third parties would
like me to run.
But the non-active Web has major benefits.
For you, I daresay it does. It might for me too, if I could stand it.
(There are a very few websites I actually find to be worth subjecting
myself to - tvtropes.org and cracked.com are the only ones that come to
mind offhand.)
It is, of course, not entirely irrelevant that on the few occasions
when I do try to something with the Web, I do it from a classic
machine, usually a SPARCstation-20.
