Love the idea of the list, the intro sets the context very nicely!
Some suggestions: - HTML is a worse hypertext system (no typed links, no transclusion, no native index or versioning) and beat all the previous professional but centralized hypertext systems in just 3 years. It’s worse than HyperCard on the symmetrical authoring and viewing side, too.
- json, from an historical perspective is really a worse xml (xml can serialize a much wider range of data structures and relationships, including circular ones, can be validated by schemas, etc.). But simpler to read, write and reason about. It limits ended up biting devs and it was extended in various, non standards ways
