Is the web getting slower?

Insane churn? Wordpress powers over 1/3 of the web. JQuery is still doing most heavy JS lifting on most blogs/CMS-driven sites.

React has dominated "real" frontend webapp development for a solid 5 years.

These things don't make headlines or get retweeted. The web produces a lot of variety because it has the widest distribution and the lowest barriers to entry.

I can do very well without some of that variety. Sometimes barriers to entry are a good thing.

Not sure what you mean. You're welcome to hand-write all of your web apps from the ground up with zero dependencies and no build system. It's still the web.

5 years is not a lot of time.

I think we can count on it to be around for awhile:
