So I get a better JavaScript engine, at the cost of making 10 features I need worse. I don't even want a JavaScript engine. I just want to display some HTML.

So I get a better JavaScript engine, at the cost of making 10 features I need worse. I don't even want a JavaScript engine. I just want to display some HTML. I'm sure for some use cases it's "progress" but I'm really having trouble seeing it right now. It would be an improvement if I were writing a web browser but I don't understand why it had to make the simple case worse.
