We need a new term for the business-opportunity wastage that modern front-end development has created. Maybe "ambush by JS"?

I'm sure that wastage isn't unique to JS. It's like a natural cost of software development.

Lots of wastage in mobile development, especially the iOS world with Swift.

That work has the benefit of being situated inside a specific hardware ecosystem with known characteristics. The web is harder.

Not trying to compare difficulty—not sure what metrics to use for "harder". Just sharing that I have experienced wastage in other envs.

Oh I see. I missed some context. The context of wasted opportunity being limiting the audience because of performance?
