It’s not meaningless at all. GH is not optimized to load quickly. In fact it has so much meaningless fluff abstracting you from working that I would argue it’s a detriment not just to load speeds but use speeds.

While I agree you have to apply the right amount in the right places, the reality is most websites don’t follow this and use many multiples more than they need. Which is why the Internet is so needlessly bloated.
