In spite of an increase in Internet speed, webpage speeds have not improved

Then again, my decision to order a pizza doesn't hinge on whether I have to wait an extra 5 seconds for the initial payload.

But it does hinge on how good the delivery website is though. If you haven't been to a pizza website in the past 10 years, let me point out they are complex with interactive drag-and-drop build-your-own-pizza wizards. Better client-side tech helps build those features to sell more pizzas.

How does your envisioned alternative help sell more pizzas than the heavy-client approach that pizza corporations have decided on?

Really? Because personally I find I tend to do more business with places that have interfaces that don't make me want to beat the developer with a wrench.
