      …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.

      I don't blame the React team for anything more than the usual sins of wealth and privilege. Is it grotesque bordering on obscene? Absolutely. Will FB ever do anything more than duck responsibility for pervasively poor results? TROLOLOLOLOL 🤣

      I think wealth and privilege are, if not exactly virtues, at least good things that everyone should have more of. The sin is using them thoughtlessly. But we can't expect every hacker to quit their well-paying job and move to a third-world country for decades

      They're relative measures. Everyone should have a higher standard of living. Higher relative weather? 🤗🤷‍♂️

      I like this conversation. The perspective I would add is that of course white dudes in wealthy nations aren't going to solve far away problems for people without wealth. That's not an expectation any of us should have.

      Instead I think there are a couple of issues that keep these people from solving their own problems (the preferred solution IMO). One is the pressure to centralize the market, e.g. the bigs monopolize and suffocate upstarts.

      The other is what *I think* @slightlylate is kind of getting at. Hardware is still expensive and also controlled by the bigs. The bigs leverage that to also peddle their monstrous frameworks, and don't support a wider OSS community in solving more localized problems.

      I observe as much "well, <BigCo> uses X..." in NBU markets as I do here, usually coupled with an ignorance of *actual* BigCo practice.

      BigCos have staffed up perf teams and custom infrastructure to support minimal bundle generation (MSS, Big Pipe, etc.). Bundle size regressions can cause a presubmit to fail.

      The big products gate marginal feature rollout on perf and many have strict latency budgets

          Nobody working on a consumer product at Google experiences Closure or Polymer or Angular or GWT the way external developers do. The layers of abstraction and tooling mandated to get decent perf prevent it

          This doesn't keep a lot of these products from being poor mobile experiences, but the mobile question is also approached differently: when you can afford to make multiple versions, you often do.
