It's not weird to reject arbitrary complexity.

The most important issues is the 'lack of value' - not anything else.

Complexity compounds to imbue cost geometrically, we don't need stuff 'because', we need stuff that solves real problems.

For sure, but the big value prop is better speed and less load on your own servers when your content primarily comes from Twitter, Google, IG, Facebook, Reddit, etc. Small sites can use this to not need a CDN and avoid the hug of death.

If it doesn’t come with a benefit to you then it’s all good.
