Folks are surprised to learn I put as much, or more, blame for the terrible state of frontend today on browsers as I do the JS community.
Browser vendors failed to put their money where their mouths have been on performance, paving endless open field to create induced demand with every JS engine tweak, rarely stopping to ask if what they have done has actually lifted the average.
Also, the last 15 years of neutered engine competition (thanks, iOS) has lowered vendor ambition for the platform.
