I see diseases in every direction. Profitable forms only care (and build) for those with dosh. OSS projects follow suit, failing to acknowledge or take a high ground based on user's lived experience

Oh, well, I wasn't advocating that we should do more things like current OSS projects. I was advocating that we shouldn't trivialize human beings as "customers", because that simplification is the root of many of the problems we face…

…and the problems with markets are not limited to inequality — it's not as if "those with dosh" have access to a secure operating system or a decent browser, for example. As far as I understand it, that's more a "market for lemons" problem?

It's a huge issue, and a source of great technical inequity. The assumption that everyone carries a $500+ device does much to embed and exascerbate these biases.

We venerate those with no attachment to occasion or place at our collective risk. My current feeling is that JS is sinking the web's chances.

I don't think JS or "rootless cosmopolitans" are really the problem.

I consult with these firms; let me assure you the cluessly privileged are primary actors in this story. Their inept, goal-and-value free managers aren't blameless, but in current business thinking, folks are more afraid of losing hires than poor business outcomes. It's F'd.
