We aren't complaining about cool new features that the normies like though. We are complaining about the fact that some of us have gigabit per second bandwidth and still need multiple seconds to load and render a page. We are complaining about the fact that it is literally infeasible to build a web engine from scratch at this point, by anyone in the world. The problem isn't catering to every day people, the problem is praying on their ignorance and forcing them and us to tolerate a worse tool because they don't know any better. And when I say don't know any better, I'm not saying "they'd use Linux if they knew better" I'm saying that they legitimately don't know that over half (and I'm being generous) the data they download to render a news article is shit they're not trying to access but they're paying for, they think it just has to be that way for some nerdy technical reason they don't understand.
This is not about ideals, this is about foisting crap on the world that literally nobody wants or needs.
