I use a Lighthouse score for troubleshooting, but at the end of the article there is a chart of the change in Core Web Vitals, which tracks performance of _all_ pages indexed by Google over time.

This is just not true for _any_ of the suggestions in the article. I guess you can make this argument for breaking down one CSS bundle into four, but their content was picked based on analytics of where people go more often. We make 1 extra request but load much less cruft, and it applies to any page of the website.
