Education, tools, and training all support the premise that supporting more browsers is better ( ceteris paribus ), creating a substantial incentive to grease squeaky wheels. An area where browsers makers disagree fervently, but where Chromium-based browsers have forged ahead (Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet, Opera, UC, etc.)

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. Many critiques are possible, both of the target (five seconds for first load), the sample population (worldwide internet users), and of the methodology (informed reckons).

This is because HTTP/3 and QUIC mainly help deal with the somewhat uncommon yet potentially high-impact problems that can arise on today’s Internet. On the Internet, however, we typically have a long series of connected pipes , some of which can be wider than others (leading to so-called bottlenecks at the narrowest links).
