Isn’t this somewhat unfair though? Similar arguments were probably made for video games evolution, operating systems etc. As technology advances applications “expand” to take advantage of it, for better or worse, and may also in turn be the catalyst for technology advancements.

The expansion contains a lot of inefficiencies in amateurish opportunist nodejs libraries etc. It is no rational engineering advancement.
