The cormobidty of keeping a service alive and renewing it by forcing more and more unwanted features on the users is a fact. Every manager wants to parade around the new shiny thing without listening to their development team. It shows that you are not a webdev because you don't know the inner workings of a big tech corp if you really think it's just some indie devs that care about speed and optimization. The devs very much care.

By web-devs I didn't mean your average employee but any company doing web development and making bad decisions.
I have nothing against the individuals doing web-development, it's just a job to eat and pay rent.
When most people go online they go to consume content on the websites of the biggest corporations like Google, YouTube, Netflix, Reddit, Facebook, TicTok and so on.
That's what most of the internet is for most average consumers.
The fact that indie devs exist who care about well optimized websites doesn't change this.
