That the content is gatekept by Meta and co.

Nobody thinks HTML tables need a comeback. They think the days where individual people hosted individual sites with their own content, and formed communities around them through BBS or mailing list, was preferable to the one where Meta's algorithm decides 99% of what 99% of people see, optimized for "engagement," and applying their own censorship.

I'm not saying whether or not that's better I'm just explaining the point. Obviously nobody expects a Flash comeback. They miss the smaller-scale, more human-centric (or at least less corporate-dictated) web. Maybe they're nostalgic for something that didn't really exist, but obviously it has nothing to do with browser tech of the era
