Many projects are absolutely more complex than they were 15 years ago. The web is now a space for fully-interactive applications, not just interlinked documents and forms

I am comparing apples to apples (CRUD to CRUD), not some random websites.

    Okay apples to apples then

    This is Amazon in 2006 https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/timeline/amazon-2006

    Now Amazon landing page has:

    - Omni-search with autocomplete

    - Dynamic language and region selection

    - Quick order forms accessible by profile dropdown

    - Many submenus embedded somewhere on the page

    - Multiple carousels of content embedded throughout the page

    Nothing like Amazon's current landing page existed on the web in 2006. Basically everything was just CRUD back then. Simple CRUD applications are becoming increasingly rare
