I think it is more if a human tendency than anything else

The problem is using that for something world wide with no backing by anything material.
It is unstable by nature
It is extremely inefficient
The entire model behind crypto is flawed and actually pretty centralized. (Consensus and value propped up by hype)
Crypto AI porn sounds kinda hot
What…
The only way out of crypto is full blow communism? Those are the two options?
That is exactly the problem. It has no real value as the entire thing is propped up by chaos. It could be worth a trillion dollars one day and then nothing the next.
They are still very unstable and rely on some sort of consensus. It is flat out a bad design. It would be safer to pay with stocks.
The entire concept is fundamentally flawed
You are basing a economy with real economic stakes on something that is massively unstable and very resource intensive.
I really like Taler
It will impact Americans the most by far. The US is literally shooting itself in the foot.
Why spend time and money on something that will end up being only half functional. It costs money to support that.
Not all frameworks are bad
The problem is the devs/owners not understanding basic fundamentals. They could see a major financial benefit if they make the page snappy and light but apparently no one at these companies realizes that.

It is a lot simpler to just require JavaScript. It is widely supported and is default enabled on all platforms and browsers.
Have you ever tried building a modern page without JavaScript.
You can do a lot of things with HTML5 and CSS. It just is very complicated and painful. It isn’t intuitive and the behavior will vary across browsers. What could be a little JavaScript turns into a ton of write only CSS.
Why would someone spend tons of time on something that isn’t needed? Only a few people even know how to turn off JavaScript and chances are they will just turn it back on since nothing works.
