Some examples: they could get rid of that pointless bootstrap on their website, they are shoving almost 1.5 MBs for a single font alone on their main page and their HTML semantics are nowhere to be found. This will all impact their bounce rate, accessibility and SEO.

I just don't believe the tale of "such skilled engineering teams" which don't show that in their products but blogposts.

What if I told you that the product engineering team is almost never the same team maintaining the website; hell it’s likely the website is contracted out and maintained by the marketing team.
