You’re right it doesn’t but I thought the context had drifted from that topic and onto code quality.

If we’re talking strictly about JS heavy sites then I’m definitely in favour of the less is more approach. There’s times when it makes sense having JavaScript trigger restful APIs rather than have the entire site rendered on the server side. The problem is JavaScript often gets overused these days.

I could write an essay on where I think modern tech has gone off the rails though.

That’s a strange comment to make considering you presented the example for discussion. Of course people will then “pick on” the example, in fact you’d be the first to moan about a straw man argument if people cited a different example.
