Ya this is nonsense. The web is what it is.

You could maybe say "every framework is a hack to workaround protocols primarily designed in the 90's before we really understood the full application of the web"

The internet isn't the web, and there are plenty of applications who use those protocols just fine outside of the web browser. It's the html tech stack initially made for hypertext documents and resources that's been heavily upgraded to do web-based applications.

I would go as far as saying that the genius of the web is that it can grow, develop, be hacked, modified, expanded through technical and institutional means to be many things it wasn’t originally envisioned to be. Why is that a bad thing? Why is originalism a good thing?
