Downloads something like 10 megabytes of code. I don't think many web developers would argue downloading 10MB of JS code is appropriate. The problem is that people who argue that websites are bloated often include images, video, fonts, and more in their numbers, and assets like that take up space. Most web apps are a lot smaller than 10MB. Even a giant one like Github Codespace is 'only' 8MB, and that's a full IDE and git client in your browser. If you're seeing something that's got 10MB of code in it then the developers have failed (or it's a very complex app).
