Question for web performance people: why are the "fast" approaches (Polymer, Preact, etc..) so much less popular (and defacto "standards") than the "slow" options (like React and Vue)?

There's no "too fast," true. But if you're gaining speed at the expense of other things that matter more, then you're making bad choices. For many startups speed to market of crucial features might matter more than squeezing better perf out for users on decent networks anyway

I can't share the data, but there can be HUGE returns for every increment of speed below what you probably suspect is "fast enough".

One of the big issues with integrated ecosystems (like the web) is that there's a hysteresis. Users may expect your thing to be slow because everything else is (and because we don't attribute speed well thanks to page unload hijinks).

Studying this cleanly requires separating your experience from others. A clean test would be to ablate at PWA startup from homescreen (no other experience in front of yours) and measure engagement from there.
