Webdevs tend to suffer from an inferiority complex, that they are not considered “real” developers by the rest of the community. So they have responded by making the simple things they do monstrously complicated to try to prove something to the C++ guys, who simply don’t care, until they try to use the dumpster fire that is any modern website, that is. Then it has the opposite of the intended effect!

Someone else mentioned SPAs. I 100% guarantee that no user in the world ever wished for their “back” button not to work as they expected.

Calling themselves “full stack engineers” is another symptom of this.
