My guess: nobody cares about performance any more.

  True in the sense that you mean and alao in pure CS theory terms but also the TFA also links to some serious documentation on practical solutions to many real world performance problems and browser codebases have most of the underlying complexity for other less obvious performance issues. E.g. https://github.com/Igalia/explainers/blob/main/css/has/has-style-invalidation.md https://github.com/Igalia/explainers/blob/main/css/has/has-s...

    Thanks for the deeplink, I should spend some time digging in. Though as far a pre-existing complexity in modern engines goes: engine performance has regressed (in absolute end-user terms), and engine conplexity is also a barrier to entry for competing/new engines. So this isn't exactly "good".

  That's my sense, though if anyone still does it's been the WebKit team, so this does seem a little unusual at least.
