I found it sort of funny, given that those links are apparently talking about modern web bloat, that I see a blank page when I visit them in a browser with JS disabled.

Oh no, the page in your last link seems to have linkrotted images. An arbitrarily grabbed version from the Internet Archive looks ok: http://web.archive.org/web/20180316071757/https://idlewords....

I'm not sure i agree with Luke on everything, or even that his tone is always conductive to productive discussion, but there is definitely a lot of merit in creating small and fast websites without any unnecessary bloat nowadays.
The "Website Obesity Crisis" presentation also has stuck with me ever since i ran into it: https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm
