You're being downvoted because your comment hits too close to home here. Regarding Docker (which I hate like the plague when it's being naively used for "microservices" as an excuse for architecture by the infanterists of our profession), an argument could be made that it helps density in data centers such that fewer physical machines and VMs need to run all the time, though I believe this is offset by network overhead, ruining any advantage it may have when considering total energy consumption. Regarding overuse of webapps and JavaScript, though, there's really no excuse for the React and co overkill. Apple, Google, and Firefox should display a little indicator/traffic light of sorts warning about high energy use. Google could also flag/penalize the worst offenders in search results, etc.
