on the flip side many websites run completely without an in house dev team, using a corporate hosting provider and retainer based web companies.

The ability to use an injection tool and hire devs for small changes on quick turnarounds can be massive in enabling the marketing department to move forwards.

And yet another side shows sites deliberately engineered this way to allow agile behaviour by non-devs. I've seen a few where they track an internal metric so that a dev somes and consolidates it all before it gets too bad.

The problem is it doesn’t work reliably because a lot of people use blockers. Instead of seeing the intended content, they see a blank page for a few seconds, followed by the original content that had already loaded a few seconds ago. Some websites don’t have a timeout, causing many users to see just a blank page unless they disable their blockers.

Also, it’s terrible for SEO.
