There were plenty of apps at the time doing real-time experience, they just weren't running 300-500mb of RAM while doing so because they weren't overengineered by idiots.

There was nothing about the wave protocol or concept that necessitated the bloated mess of JS they churned out. A big part of the problem with optimisation, on top of it doing way too much in poorly thought through ways, was simply that nobody in Google even knew JS, because they were just transpiling Java to JS.
