>It’s an old idea that keeps resurfacing and frankly I think it misses the real problem of modern websites: they’re too bloated with code that the user is expected to run and yet isn’t there to serve the user.

I can't find it now, but I thought there was an article recently that looked at page rendering times and how they have changed over the years (as bandwidth has also increased). In general, page rendering time hasn't decreased as much over the last few decades as you would expect, and a part of that is the amount of js (often for tracking - not to serve the user) that is pervasive nowadays.
