I wonder, when did this shift happen wrt the Web: we only care about how it is easy for the developers, not for the users. Despite all the talk about UX a lot of the momentum is still in the wrong direction.

I've been writing working with the web close to 25 years now. It is amusing to see it come the full circle. How hard it is to understand, that you don't need react for some blog, or anything which is not even remotely an app?

Are you talking about the same web that ditched XHTML because you had to validate your site before publishing? And had those "works better on Mozaic in a 420x340 resolution" warnings?
