the point is: as i see it noscript wants to earn money from advertising by navigating their users to their homepage from time to time (news, updates etc). their homepage is full of adsense ads. adblock blocks all these ads.

BUT: noscript is nothing other than an ad blocker, too. because you mostly need javascript to deliver ads. so, they circumvented the ad blocking feature of their own add-on by putting their website in their exclusion list.

people who give away software with revenue destruction capabilities for the rest of the internet thereby being the only ones profiting. THAT is the scandal, if you ask me.
