No, it didn't. But is it so complex it requires 10x+ the resource use? I don't think so.

You can say the same about Windows 2016. Recommended RAM has gone up more than 100-fold, from 16MB to 2000MB. Developers use the resources made available to them, that has nothing to do with the web.

No one is writing web apps using javascript because they're "using the resources available" to them, in the form of powerful hardware. They're using the only TOOLS available (javascript). The problem is we just don't have a better choice, at least on the front-end.
