I hear ya but another way to look at this is...

The main problem with too many websites is they've become too much about technology and have left visitors, as well as the spirit and intent of the internet behind.

It stopped being about information and started being entertainment.

I agree with you. BadSite: "we want you to experience this.."

GoodSite: "we want you to learn this..."

To clarify myself a bit. Many of the new technologies are great...for building applications; applications where UI and UX are essential.

But for run-of-the-mill websites? Such tools are not only overkill, they break the spirit of the internet.
