In this sense, progressive enhancement can be understood as *"let browsers help as much as they can, and only add what they fail to provide"*
This leads to simpler, cheaper solutions to common problems. First, because many of the problems you'll end up with are about letting the browser help *more*, and if you haven't YOLO'd your site off a bridge, that's easier to do.
Second, because you've minimized the amount of JS that might be defeating browser attempts to help in the first place.
