jQuery does a lot more though, and includes support older browsers.

Which is entirely the issue. Supporting a browser for the 10 users who will update jQuery in 2025 is insane.

		Breaking backwards compatibility to turn 27kb into less because of "bloat" makes less sense to me.

		It is definitely more than 10 users.

Officially they state they only support 2 latest versions of chrome. But considering their support of IE11, that's actually a lot.
