I don't think it is incompetence playing out here. They just want to have a cookie and eat the cookie at the same time and they somewhat succeed. What I mean is that they would like the full text to be read by bots and indexed in Google and other browsers but they also want most interested users to pay for reading it. Having it protected by JS (that can be disabled) means that bots can read it in full and index. Also, most of the interested users will still pay - either because of not being technical enough or valuing their time more than a few dollars to play with JS, or out of decency.
When it comes to a ton of JS errors - that's the effect of cost-cutting. Corporations try to make stuff faster to be competitive and if hardly anyone sees those errors then it does not matter enough to be fixed.

There is a technical reason: they have to allow the Google crawler to index the site. 12ft Ladder

Meh, it's a 95%+ solution for them; most people are cut off from the articles.
If they really wanted it secure, they wouldn't load the content; they'd cut it off at the server. Arguably, it takes a bit more work to do that, but is more a management headache when you have dozens or hundreds of content contributors.
That said, corporate incompetence abounds. Researching buying expert user software on sites whose aim is to get you to contact them without giving you enough information to know if it's worth the effort. A pizza site that doesn't show you the cost of what you are ordering until you add it to the cart. (If that's an intentional strategy, it is just silly). Topping that one off, pardon the pun, when we go to pay for it, we couldn't use a gift card so we had to cancel the cart and call in the order. What an ecommerce fail.
It seems that many companies never use their own damn site!

What I tend to find with a vast majority of these ones that are easily worked round, is quite simply that 90% of them are implemented using some kind of CMS, or a 3rd party cloud CMS service that specialises in that area.
As a result, you do often find that the company calling the shots (The telegraph, The New York Times etc) are usually just either just a client, or if they are developing and hosting the site in house, the developers are really only tasked with making sure the base system is running and working alright.
Many of the news papers in the UK for example ALL USE the same CMS system (I forget what it's called) but if you take a lot of them and F12 to look at the code, you'll find the code is 99% identical.
When I was working in Ad-Tech for these companies back in around 2010, the JS and front end stuff, was 99% designed, developed and coded by the "art & design team", the company I was working with where trying to take a new approach to adding Javascript into the page designs to help manage and display Ad creatives, and pretty much every "technical" question we asked was met with a blank stare and a comment along the lines of "No Idea, unless there is a JS/NPM/jQuery plugin for it"
Eventually for a lot of them we had to go to the parent company to find the ACTUAL developers of the CMS, and approaching them with said questions was again frustrating as we where met with "Dunno, no idea we leave our clients to deal with the frontend stuff, we just provide them with a template and an API to work with.
Couple of examples:
https://www.heraldscotland.com/
https://www.darlingtonandstocktontimes.co.uk/
https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/
If you F12 all of those you will see the following

The evening Chronicle & Sunderland Echo websites on the other hand look the same as each other, but are obviously from a different company.
So in many cases, the JS code you see that is easily averted are because the company no longer has any programmers itself, and what limited programming work is done is left to the "visual & design" folks to do, many of which understand only NPM and other similar JS tools that do everything for them.

The AI Assistant beta is removed: you will need to install that from the install manager tool as you install RC1 ... which will remove the previous EAP's.

They explained the reasoning in the EAP10 announcement:
ReSharper 2023.2 EAP 10 Is Here! | The .NET Tools Blog[^]
Also note from the announcement that they'll start charging extra for it soon:
The AI service is free to use during the EAP cycle. We’ll be providing the licensing and pricing model at a later date.

Thanks, Richard,
fyi: your first link is to a recent July blog about the RC1; you can interpret an RC1 as ending the EAP cycle, but you may not  candidate it is.
the second link is to a June blog entry which imho is outdated.
seems like an unambiguous statement from JB about future payment for the AI Assistant, i think we should anticipate the usual evo/devo
subjectively, i experience the RC! as taking longer to "exhaust my tokens."
i am actively sending feedback to the AI Assistant team; they are very busy, but always helpful.
cheers, bill
p,s, are you using ReSharper and the Ai Assistant now ? what do you think ?

I'm still on R# 2023.1, so no AI Assistant.
I've played around with the built-in VS2022 IntelliCode, which seems pretty good - until it isn't. It seems like the sort of thing that's most useful for making repetitive edits, rather than writing whole swathes of code for you.

i'm using R# intellicode only right now ... if MS and R# intelli are both on i drown in pop ups and ideas ... 15.6" laptop monitor 4k set to 1920 x 1080 ... lots of things never draw "right."
turning on high-contrast mode ... which i need ... ruins all kinds of app dialogs.
i note recently OriginalGriff has remarked on how good he thinks MS Inteli... is.
i see intelli... as at best an online encyclopedia with automatic completions sometimes flawed.
