How many web developers understand that a low-end integrated GPU on a laptop can draw full 4k screens of pixels at 3000 frames per second?

wrong / distasteful for a web server to directly control layout in a precise fashion. So these things were meant as structures where users plug-and-play their own specifications while the server provides defaults that get overridden. Of course this is very hard to do well,
and it turns out nobody wanted that anyway, everyone wants the server to just say how the page looks. So we are stuck with tools that are totally inappropriate (and would have been pretty bad even if they were appropriate).

Good point. That's two unlucky mistakes: assuming the web is just documents not apps, and then what you say about assuming user's custom the skin for it. So maybe it wasn't DITV, but designing for the wrong use case. I can see how it is difficult to design a spec for the future,

but it feels to me not all decisions where made in the 90s, and that many questionsble ones were still being made in the 2010s when the signal of how the web was actually being used was clear and strong.
