considering the birth of javascript almost directly correlates with the beginning of the race to pile on additional modern trendy layers of complexity to tasks that were already usable and solved by existing low overhead solutions this makes sense

most people can fill out a form and wait a few seconds for a database server to spit out the results but now you need an eight core CPU in your telephone running a full unix clone with hundreds of libraries on top to encapsulate a web page coated in megabytes of javascript to ask that database server to do the same, except now the database server is written in several hundred megabytes of javascript

you can write a functional unix kernel and tcp stack in less than ten thousand lines of code but it wouldn’t give you an error message with “UwU” in it when the database can’t resolve your query so we have to have sensitive data exfiled from your PC because someone put a malicious ad on facebook
