That’s not cookie pop ups. That’s functional programming strategies poisoning the brains of developers causing them to believe that rewriting their page on every request is preferable because otherwise they have to think about “70,000 page states”.
They’re trading user experience for a mythical silver bullet of programming that some dude on medium told them was the holy grail and proved it using simple, horribly contrived anecdotes.
EDIT: Also the concept of "virtual DOM" is way older than shitty websites themselves (was applied to native GUI stuff before JS was even a thing). What you're seeing is just a shitty website.
Yeah. It’s not like functional programming is known for being slow, and every page adopting these ridiculous strategies has universally gotten worse and slower. Oh wait.
