If the site is CSS'd yes you can turn off styling. But you're adding
another technology into the mix. HTML itself is a presentational mess.
With CSS there is more control over the formatting, but then that too
can be abused. In some cases you may NOT want the end user to turn off
your styling (if your brand is important, or perhaps you provide an
alternative site for accessibility).

The example I always like to use when people say "Flash is always
abused" is this:

Many, many great Flash sites!
