They are not equivalent at all, you can add as much bloat as you want on your backend as long as you scale it. The cost is put on you. Front-end bloat directly affects the user. We used to justify every library addition, now people just add a library for every trivial task to make it slightly "nicer" as if that matters at all.

Issue here is with criticizing over-simplified Hello World examples for unnecessary "bloat" that is not really a bloat in real life. And people do add unnecessary libs in their code, I agree, but that's another story...
