> Nowadays, why does it matter if a website is made "brittle" if the content isn't going to matter in a few months anyways?

One reason is brand perception. If your website is significantly slower and/or brokener than a competitor's then eventually people will stop coming back. Presumably you want your brand to last more than a few months.
