Great post. I hadn't clicked the link yet but I had planned too a little later. So thanks for telling me not too. ;).
To be fair though: I did attempt to search on zdnet.com when it was brought up and didn't find anything different than what my mind already felt would be happening. After reading your examples I actually could not recreate them. The search box made sense to me, tapping the search icon did what I thought it would, and did not experience the delay you mentioned. So maybe they fixed it already or it's actually just a browser compatibility thing (tested in Chrome on Android, on a high end Android device) or just bad code and not a UX thing.
Though your points are true for many pages and apps I've seen and a great post.
