As someone who lives without constant broadband and as someone who works with people who enjoy accessibility settings in software, I think the current web design trend you describe is disastrous.
- commentnull 11y agoIt is an awful experience. Mobile data is often sketchy, but these bloated sites don't render a single thing until all the twenty tons of front end crap is downloaded, and all to view a tiny static chunk of text. But hey, they got to use react, a metric shit ton of the latest CSS wankery, and it is connected to every social meejia platform!

I think good design should include designing for the those with impairments or those who don't live in a big city with uncapped broadband.
