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)?

Because “slow” is fast enough. There’s more to balance than download/parse time of your tools. If the only thing to worry about is speed then don’t build anything at all: no code is faster than no code!

Wait are you saying the *next* unit of speed you gain is worth less than the prior unit of speed you gain, and that at some point other things start mattering more? That's some revolutionary thinking right there.

It's also simple, neat, and often wrong. There's no "too fast" threshold; we have some evidence to the contrary, in fact.

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.

Without this, you're just swimming in conjecture.
