What you're determining to be "needed" wrt design is very draconian and anti-progress. The web was ugly in 95 and appealed to few... progress in all areas -- especially design -- has made it what it is today.

I find that the prevalent user-friendly, minimalist design philosophy is very much compatible with performance principles like those that I have outlined.

Performance is not the opposite of UX, it is an important part of it.

What it is today, designwise, is awful, with screens littered with irrelevant content and extremely aggressive ads that are like xroach on steroids.
