there's actually one angle that I believe has changed on that topic: security. Security is to me the number 1 reason to reduce bloat in any application. By limiting the number of external dependencies, and maybe even the number of features, you end up with a more secure product. It something that didn't matter as much a decade ago, but is now very relevant. Then there's all the other reasons, like responsiveness, download size, developer experience etc, but they haven't been the priority of most businesses
