Benchmarking on low-end devices to prove your point is situational at best in my opinion. For example if you work at a luxury ecommerce brand, you can assume that most users who actually are going to buy something are going to be using a flagship model device. |

That's a big IF right there.
You're dismissing the author's point simply based on one hypothetical. In general, the author is right. JavaScript frameworks are being abused and developers don't care about the download size of their web pages, and it's terrible.
If you're on a desktop with a wired internet connection, then yeah, it's not really going to matter. But if you're on a 3 year old low-end mobile device on a spotty 3G connection, it's significant.
