Software is bloated and slow to make it faster to develop mostly.
Look at your average website with 85 megabytes of JavaScript and Bootstrap for the UI.
TreeShaking in theory can get rid of all that unneeded JS - and there should be something that can do it for CSS, too.
But most people aren't using it. And even if they did, there would still be a lot of bloat left over from using the libraries to make life a little bit easier.
Go to average midsize startup and the amount of this going on is multiplied exponentially by the number of developers.
There's not really a cure here.
There's not enough engineers that know how to do things absent these frameworks - that even if you do know - it's still not worth it because the people you'll be working with probably don't.
