I could write a CAD system in the 90s with 10 lines of C and linking a few libraries :)

Well, given sufficiently good libraries everything can be written in 10 lines of C.

It depends what you create. If it's business apps for your customers, they might not care about availability to 1 billion people, but will appreciate several other things (such as rapid modifications) that more often than not are not so trivial to implement in modern web apps.
You can with a 10 line HTML file and linking a few CDNs make an interactive application that can reach 1 billion people with no install and no buffer overflows. That's magic. The 90s wish they could do that.
