I share your opinion, But I would also like to mention that those "worse is good" applications are limited to certain niche. I prefer vanilla HTML, CSS and minimal or no JS websites and my audience to a large part don't mind either and as long as I keep building to such niche audience then it's fine. But if I try to compete in a market where the audience expect shiny layouts, fresh animations and don't mind waiting a minute for those to load; with a late 90s-esque website then I will certainly fail.
