The average web page can be as nasty as it likes, but if I can deliver apps that _feel_ awesome and optionally can deliver metrics that provide a commercial basis for that awesomeness to whoever is paying me, I don't really care much about the average web page at all. Insert some truism here about using the incompetence of others to justify one's own slovenly behaviour, and some other truism about standing out from the crowd by applying common sense.

"I built an average web application and it attracted an average number of users, it more or less worked if you visited it from mobile" would look fucking awful on anyone's resume.
