The page is objectively and substantially better in every aspect of legibility with CSS loaded.

Hey, take it easy! It's not nice to pick on those poor developers who can only read text that has been piped into their preferred TUI.

Yea, "Minimalism is better!" is like a reflex for some people

It often is. Turns out this page does fit the bill, CSS or not.

All art is a combination of objective and subjective aspects.

The objective improvements from css here include: shorter lines are easier to read (per multiple legibility studies), the styling distinguishes navigation and secondary site elements from the main content (without css you get a half screen of navigation links), and the visual importance of in-page anchor links is reduced.
