Actually, in this case "we" means Google and a few other big companies whose aims are not the same as ours - they are the ones in charge. Sure, at times it happens that our interests are somewhat aligned (like page load times) but only as far as it serves them. For Google, a page without their code like ads/analytics is pretty much useless; for us, it's more useful because it doesn't track us and loads faster.
So yes, while they continue doing some work in that respect, I expect it will actually go worse with time as they are focused on average consumer bandwidth in the USA. Once G5 is well entrenched and broadband/fiber gets even faster, we can expect even more bloat on websites and there is not much "we" (=users and developers) can actually do about it.
