Because you don't find them visually interesting or because of their content?
There's a whole world of modern unindexed handcoded html + light js sites that really hearken back to the mid-90s web, and they're often part of webrings.

Yeah I have indexed a lot of em. I'm specifically talking about the ones that try to resemble the archetypal personal geocities site with tiled backgrounds, gifs, and whatnot. I've found that these predominantly were created as part of a web fad and were quickly abandoned.
I am all for handcoded html, SSGs, and minimal-to-no js.
I still enjoy those, because they're very true to the era. How many of us learned html by viewing source and copying bits from the sites we liked with no clearer vision than "I want that on my site, too!"?
To me, _any_ non-commercial human expression on the web is heartening, even if it lacks authenticity or taste. We've all been ruled by the effects of overreach of adtech for far too long.
My mtg site is kind of one of those. I use a static site generator, but I wrote the html templates and CSS myself to match the aesthetic I wanted.
I have robots.txt configured to keep it mostly unmolested, but I don't think it's fully unindexed.
That said, it's not very evocative of 90s web style. I do not miss those days (despite being the owner of a webhosting/design company at the time).
mtg as in magic the gathering?. You can't mention a personal website without linking the website itself
i would love to take a look
Since you asked... https://thenethervoid.com/
There isn't a whole lot there currently, since I'm pretty slow to post. I'm working on some deck analysis pieces currently and have some community-focused articles in draft form on my laptop.
