As a user, I really don't care about the supposed purity or correctness of a website's tech stack. When I click "back" I want to go back to what I think the previous page was.

As a user, I don’t really care about the building materials used in construction. But that doesn’t mean builders should cut corners.

A building collapse and a poorly built website UI are completely different in terms of actual risk.

		I’d agree with you if laziness wasn’t endemic in software engineering. But we constantly see people’s PII leaked on the internet, accounts hacked and money stolen, due to piss poor safeguards in the industry. And yes, this is a different issue, but it’s another symptom of the same problem. Tech businesses don’t give a shit, and developers make excuses about how it’s not life or death. Except our bad choices do still negatively affect people’s lives even if we try to convince ourselves it doesn’t.
