Which is also a problem for web. Compared to writing native apps you can get away with much more. You can be asked to help in projects where css like this was already written:
#updates > span > table > tbody > tr > td > span
People who have never heard of specificity or modularity start writing code that will run on thousands of browsers, and in turn those users experience a slower web.
The other side of that mess is when developers with more experience thoroughly plan out the architecture of the web app, to ensure it operates on a performance budget and the user experience stays positive. Just as native apps, this also requires paying people more and taking more time to develop.
