14kb is a cool concept, a nice idea and definitely fun when you can actually test things on the network at the scale of having to think about how long light takes to travel down the line.

Content/Marketing teams don't care about this kinda performance, they want their fancy images, animations and tracking scripts so they can boost conversions.

In reality, keeping a site loading in under 1-2 seconds is a far more attainable goal, and sometimes even that is tricky when non-techy people are making the decisions.
