Sure, but complaining and proving it is possible to have smaller/faster websites is important because it can inspire and lead to better tools, libraries, services, standards, techniques and even new fads (!) in the future. I understand that lots of software engineers complain about new tooling, and would rather have nothing changing, but the reality is that things will change. So we might as well fight for them to change to the better, by proving it is possible and showing/teaching others. I also understand that people don't think FAANGs will ever fall, but just as Google disrupted every search before and Amazon disrupted brick and mortar stores, there can be something with a differentiator that will disrupt them in the future, and that differentiator might be going back to the web. Of course, there's the possibility of Google killing this new disruptive corner of the web as soon as its born, but oh well...
