It would be great if these companies had enough good taste and pride in their work to at least try to build something great by default. What we get instead are minimum viable products built in the cheapest way possible and it takes a Google to force them out of their complacency by imposing policies.
On the other hand, Google is at least partially responsible for the current web situation: they normalized advertising and tracking malware on the web. Because of them, publishers think it's totally acceptable to make people download 10 megabytes of ads and javascript to read 10 kilobytes of text. The correct solution is to block all that stuff by default by shipping uBlock Origin pre-installed with browsers.
