Those non-features are also a hallmark of a site that hasn't been updated in 25 years -- or at any rate, a site whose tech stack hasn't been. The average quality of web content was probably higher in the 90s, if 'quality' means density of accurate information.

What is your point exactly? Still, what you say does not ring true to me. I was thinking about stuff like bellard.org , tygert.com or math.ucr.edu/home/baez/ ... All these sites are html-only, get updated regularly, and each update is a much larger achievement than the entire life work of an average person.
