It's the easiest way to bloat up a web page, and turn 1kb of text into 5mb of download.

People whine about cryrocurrency wasting energy; it's nothing compared to the petajoules wasted on bloated web pages, full of unneccessary Javascript and CSS.

To be fair most of that bloat comes from the Javascript; if your CSS stylesheet is above, say, 100Kb, odds are that you're doing something wrong.

The major damage that I see is on another level: raising the bar for what you're expected to know, just to make a site and publish some stuff. It's the wrong way to go - the development of new tech should enable more people to do more stuff, not the opposite.

Hello, non minified bootstrap reporting

I would absolutely consider shipping non-minified bootstrap doing something wrong
