This subject made me remember a famous quote by Alan Kay:
"The Internet was done so well that most people think of it as a natural resource like the Pacific Ocean, rather than something that was man-made. When was the last time a technology with a scale like that was so error-free? The Web, in comparison, is a joke. The Web was done by amateurs."

You have to be brave to criticize the web founders nowadays (personally, I like Berners-Lee and company).
