Web "Apps" are also quite bad. Lots of and lots of stuff we're downloading and it feels clunky.

Sometimes that's bad coding, poor optimization, third party libraries, or sometimes just including trackers/ads on the page.

Some devs will include a whole library for one thing instead of trying to learn another way to do that thing.

A whole library which was meant to to 10 things, but you only use one. And that for x libraries

Nowadays libraries are built with tree-shaking in mind, so when it’s time to deploy the app only the code that’s actually used gets bundled.
