"It is a couple MB payload, so its bad" never really reasonated with me.

YouTube serves hundreds of MB payloads to serve information. Even a bloated SPA is tiny in comparison.

Although, I think YouTube is also an SPA.

Some websites serve hundred MB payloads to show a hero video.

Why is JS optimization the great evil when there is often so much more waste in media or design choices?
