I think I might put that on a T-shirt. Ferchrissakes. The propensity for everyone to want to build a GD React SPA with gobs of unnecessary Javascript is so very rampant right now.
Let the backlash begin. Someone has got push back on the hegemony of Javascript frameworks as the Golden Hammer of the Internet has just got to end.
I remember when Spring came along and effectively put the end to baroque J2EE stuff; it seems that the frontend is long overdue for this type of revolution. Or at least stop inflicting this awful experience on the users…why do I need to keep upgrading my computers every few years, just to browse the freaking Internet? Why is Javascript necessary to read text? It’s ridiculous.

The front end ecosystem is a bit out of control, but the issue isn’t JavaScript. Nearly every site uses it and people don’t notice.
Business are making intentional design decisions that lead to what we see here.

It’s not Javascript per se, it’s the abuse of it that I take issue with. Also, there are plenty of places where it has no purpose that benefits the user and it would be quite possible to have many sites/pages that don’t require Javascript at all.
