Whose fault would it be otherwise?

There's a cat parasite that gets in humans and may make them more self centered and aggressive. It may also compel us to create new JS frameworks with complex compilation steps.

But seriously the point is unless you have a large Dev team working on large projects the benefits are minimal. So we are choosing to complicate our projects for little gain.

When the author says "our" they mean Joe and Jane web dev. Some other groups they consider as possible sources of complexity are standards bodies, large tech companies, and increasing user expectations.
