While I agree with the article, I am also obsessed with keeping the size as low as possible, I can't stop thinking about how it feels like the Author is somewhat mixing up webapps with websites. Websites requiring that much JS for doing very simple static tasks is bloat, but the same bar should not be set for webapps. It should still be required and a high priority to keep the bundle size low but webapps should be considered as different category. Websites can (and should) function without JS, webapps cannot. Another thing is that the Author only looked at the visible elements, for example on Google Translate and Outlook. What he did not consider is that there is a lot of more apps accessible behind the menus. If you take a closer look at Outlook at first glance, sure, it's just a simple app to display your emails. But on the sidebar you have access to a lot more features like calendar, contacts and the office suite.
