Maybe not to you, but it's by far and away the biggest complaint with any website or app that uses React/Angular under the hood in my experience. On any computer older than a few years, the sheer amount of JavaScript being demanded to be run creates serious system bottlenecks.

This is literally why I cancelled Spotify, because it's fucking absurd to me that I need a (then anyway) 700 MB app to stream music.
