I disagree. It doesn’t take 10mb of code to put a few lines of text to the screen. This occurs because:

1. Site owners want to track everything with really aggressive spyware.

2. Many developers are grossly incompetent and will blatantly tell you a few lines of text cannot be written to screen for less than a billion dependencies riding on the largest most trendy frameworks (plural).

That is millions of wasted CPU cycles per millions of users per day, which doesn’t also include the data centers than consume more power and water than the nearby city where people live.
