Also note no definitive example of a thing impossible to build without "modern tools" has yet to appear in this thread. Just lists of features achievable with, or with some elbow grease, without. Which is fine. I think our tools AND the platform could learn from that.

You're posing the question in bad faith. Literally anything is possible without tools, tools only make what was possible easier and more accessible. How many people can accomplish building these things without the tools?

Have you considered a possible selection bias here? Ie, the teams who ask you to trace their apps are the ones suffering horrendous perf? I imagine for every one of them, there's plenty of others doing alright, shipping decent, profitable software, not asking you to trace them.

I've seen pretty compelling metrics that chart the growth of the average bundle size against the growth of mobile network bandwidth worldwide and it was not encouraging :( However, i think the problem is a bit bigger than "people are using too much JS."
