Not the person you're replying to. I agree with a lot of what you are saying but:

I can't keep a straight face at this one. If there's one thing the web isn't anymore, it's "fast." Presumably what you are getting at is server performance, because it's pushing all the work to the client.

Anyway there's a good talk on this - https://veryinteractive.net/pdfs/ceglowski-thewebsiteobesity...

Don't be so dismissive. This is like the old anecdote about one fish saying to the other, "how's the water." The "something it isn't" is stateful. The web was not designed to be stateful, and every web framework is indeed a hack to work around that.
