Maybe the web has an upper level of "cool" that we've already reached. And the really cool stuff quickly gets nerfed and watered down to appeal to the masses for commercial purposes.

There is some cool shit being done, maybe just not on the web.

The web's "upper level of cool" is being able to display a list of text and images without stutter. And it fails even at that.

All the other things that are being desperately bolted on (WASM, WebGL etc.) are just rehashes of everything we already had 20 years ago.
