There is a reason we use React today - if you want dynamic and complex site, HTML is PITA to work with. Either you reload everything on any change (not good), or end up with a maze of partial reloads in event handlers (not good either). It

I am not sure RAM/fuel prices have much impact here. I have a phone that's about to get 3 generations behind latest one and comparing them side by side, I have 0 reasons to upgrade. Some specs are better, but not enough to notice

Those employees cannot (and are not expected to) code, so dynamic elements are not an option. So what you'll get are mostly either reports or messages. Reports could be created by software (which is how an engineer would do that), mess

I assume other platforms will prioritize paying customers over agents (of not paying ones) because they do not have resources to attempt anything else.
