2/3. Personal note: Apologies for using the colloquial interp of "who know what they're doing". As a language & system designer, I'm sensitive to when we push our inability to solve problems to our users, especially for enabling a wider pyramid of folks.
Cheap devices don't have "semi decent" ARM chips, they have the dregs of 2014's race to 64bit on a shitty 28nm process. They can't frequency scale, they have no cache, and their main-memory latency is *horrific*.

Bad process node & poor industrial design means they get throttled to prevent thermal runaway. Bad market dynamic means they get spun up hot only to stall on main memory. The P90 device is a long corridor with horrors behind every door.

It'd be a super useful experiment to do a warm-cache load for an empty react page - cheap phone, industrial world phone, laptop. 28nm is 10X+ faster than from when I started desktop js app coding :)
