I believe it. It does use too much software, and also too many layers of software. However, it is not only that; too many other things (not only software programs, but also things such as 2FA, databases, cookies, Unicode, HTML, JSON, etc) are used in cases where they do not need to be used, or where something else would do better instead. They mention React. I think GitHub uses React, although I wrote my own scripts to use instead and it is much shorter than theirs. |

For full transparency, I'm the one who wrote the article :)
I wasn't even thinking about 2FA when writing this, but that does raise a big accessibility issue for people who may struggle to use or wish to avoid smartphones. As someone observing the dumbphone trend with keen interest, it's a shame that US carriers are making it harder to stay with the older phones, since 2G and 3G connections are going away over time
