You expect website-creators to stop using ridiculously data-expensive techniques because a new tech comes out? Usually new tech implies the opposite.

The end of loaders (which HTML5 does not represent in the least. Just pre-load through JS with a % done) would be a bad thing, because you wouldn't know that the site would load within a reasonable amount of time. Coke's site could take 5 seconds or 5 minutes, and without a loader, what do you do? Stare at a blank page, wondering if it's working?
