Even Google ended up adding more stuff to their homepage in the end. For a long time they tried to keep it super minimal- and it still is, but there's footer links and signed in header and a whole bunch of other links as well.

Mind you in the early days pages used to have hundreds if not thousands of text links all over the place, the only sites that do this now are the hardcore conspiracy sites where the author just adds several new links a day.

So in this dimension at least web UIs have changed for the better.

When divisions are rewarded with prestige and that prestige is numerate in public visibility, you either need a site per division or a very, very busy homepage, where the links aren’t organized by user need but by political clout.

It’s almost like your aunt and uncle who always bicker at family reunions. Keep that drama shit out of public spaces.
