Processing JS, e.g., is at least 3x more expensive per byte than HTML and CSS. That means that you can afford three times as much declarative content given a constant latency budget. Including network time, the multiple might drop to only 1.5-2x, but holy cow! In a world awash is shockingly slow Androids and low-end Windows machines, JS is (and always has been) special-occasion food.
