I know this sounds bad, but maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Necessity is the mother of invention and maybe browser technology should be funded by governments instead of privately owned advertising megacorps?

CSS is a bloated mess. Javascript is a bloated mess.

Why would less money make people do more work to fix this?

Their point is to make them dissapear, not fix.

Cutting out swaths of code and features - without breaking other code and features - is not a small task.
It's probably more time consuming and complex than just continuing to update at a slower pace.
