Something to note about the graphs: web performance is *largely* a function of single-core performance, and that's (relatively) much, much worse than multi-core perf in the Android ecosystem vs. iPhones.

As a result, getting web workloads better-threaded matters *much* more on Android than anywhere else. CSS Houdini, off-thread parse/compile, and workers matter much more in this environment:https://dassur.ma/things/when-workers/ …

Last point about the graphs: included an Android Go device ( Nokia 2) because that spec is prevalent for first-time internet users. Gap between "what I get when I trade in my phone every 2 years" and the true low-end is now a gaping chasm, and even 5 years ago, that wasn't true.

The takeaway here is that you literally can't afford desktop or iphone levels of JS if you're trying to make good web experiences for anyone but the world's richest users, and that likely means re-evaluating your toolchain.

I think you should calm down about web performance because you, as a Google engineer, lack the authority to tell engineers at companies without a $1100 stock price what to focus on and how to architect. You will always lack the sense of urgency that 99% of engineers feel.

But that’s the problem. I get that there’s urgency and pressure from up top and then the first thing that gets deprioritized is performance. Why? Because wealthy westeners like you and me have great connectivity and a $1000 phone that can handle it.

And to make things worse, I suspect there is a strong correlation between phone performance and network quality a user can afford to buy.

There is.
