Yes, you are right, this is the problem with libraries, where everyone is trying to add something of their own. And when business requires a ready-made solution here and now, of course it is easier for a developer to connect such a ready-made library, from which he needs one feature out of 5000 πŸ€ͺ
Here we can smoothly switch to browsers: the problem is not in new features, because most sites do not use 3d, and in fact surfing ordinary text pages has gone not very far from the 2000s. The problem is that the sites are almost entirely composed of crappy code, which is why one page eats up hundreds megabytes.
Web browsers themselves are no better - they, like many applications, grow over time until they turn into monsters that contain another operating system of their own (sometimes two or more). It seems that in the end they must die under tons of their own unsupported code. But for some reason they never die. 😡
