What about not piping 20MB of JavaScript to the user just to change the color of a button instead?

That is not even true. Most JS apps are smaller than photos on the page. High resolution media is the main culprit of web page sizes.

Anyway, what's 20mb for 2gb ram pc? Nothing. That is not an issue.
