Because they add another layer that can make something more complex.
The better question is: how can we make something less complex?
While it’s not my preference, there’s a huge benefit to a basic LAMP stack with no JavaScript.
The alternative to a less complex web is we will have more native applications. And honestly, I do not prefer that
That doesn’t need to be the case. Yes, there is a place for a “web app” with advanced tech, but most of the web isn’t a web app.
And, regarding native apps, that’s why there are downloadable web apps made in Wails, Tauri, or that disgusting Electron.
I assume you are one of those people that wants the web to go back to the 2000 era. Where JS is not as wide spread and multimedia is expensive to load. That's why I assume if you want the web to be simpler you advocate for removing many of the current web standards/API. I meet too many people like that hence my immediate assumption
JS was a mistake and the web was doing just fine without it /s
I am not who you think I am. I also never said half of that. You seem like the type who likes to gaslight and imagine conversations.
Naah, I do not have imaginary conversation. Those are what many people I speak on some discord server actually say when they talk about the web being too complex. While they used discord. And many people at that. That's why I jump to the assumptions, my bad then.
