Because users want that? As a result, sites that deliver that deliver more value to their owners than sites that don’t? I do not subscribe to the view that it is all just collectively worse because we are cooperatively moving things away from our preferences. I use ancient hardware. I wish the web was much lighter. That said, I do not see the fact that it ( and everything in computing ) keep becomes more and more resource intensive as evidence if some kind of incompetence or collective failure. It just means I represent too little demand to dictate the supply.
