If we're ranking needless waste, this is not worse than modern websites delivering JS over CDNs. In theory this should be a net win - everyone having all the scripts cached locally, or on a nearby static host. In practice, with CI/CD being the norm, you have to reload all the JS every other refresh, because someone changed something - and so do all the CDNs and all other users.
