See, the problem is just bloat. Things will just get bigger until you push back. If you enable "bigger" with various optimizations (15 analytics trackers are now just as heavy as 1!) then they'll just get even bigger (33000 analytics trackers !?) because that's just what happens in business settings. Things will just get worse until it's a problem again, and then maybe you'll have justification to do something about it. We're always stuck on the edge of "not quite so bad I swear off news and product websites entirely".
