Yeah exactly. A lot of features are like, let’s design the website to perfectly suit your device. But then that means they know everything about your device, otherwise they can’t design for it. Then, if they know everything about your device, bad actors will abuse that information. So the only solution is going back to shit websites, but nobody wants that, so we just kind of pretend that it’s not a problem and compromise as best we can
Unfortunately people want things like websites being easily readable regardless of device form factor, language being automatically detected, ability to choose font families for readability… I know, people are idiots.
I kinda dont see a problem “boring” shitty websites that do its job. For example Wikipedia hasn’t changed much and it’s still my most used website, it gives me a good sense of familiarity and I know exactly what to find where

Don’t speak for the lot of us.
I want to go back to websites that were actually just functional websites that did the thing they were designed to do and nothing more.

Most people don’t actually want that unfortunately. I agree with you but the numbers don’t lie. People love bloated and annoying websites
