I am thankful I've never seen this (or at least, have not seen it yet).
I have however seen plenty of "app" style webpages over the years, but for a lot of them it makes sense, good examples would be Gmail and web based communication programs (discord in the browser as an example). They have to load a bunch of JavaScript and other resources to function.
Discord I get because it's real time chat. Gmail I get less so, it has some real time chat stuff but the core functionality could be done with far less JS IMO. Maybe I just feel that way because I'm a JS minimalist. Unless the website's core function needs JS(real time chat etc) I'm a firm believer you should be able to disable JS and the website should not break.
