Why would a regular React site be so huge?
Maybe they had bundled fonts and images.
The bundle is just the lib plus your files minified.
You want to bundle vs hitting dozens of requests just to get files.
It’s not like React/webpack is a black box doing things I don’t know or want.
Performance: I challenge you to build a complex 3D game in vanilla threejs vs using r3f. useFrame alone is worth it
What a joke of challenge, there is still no browser 3D game that is a match to Infinity Blade, that Apple used to demo OpenGL ES 3.0 hardware in 2011.
Anyone serious about 3D gaming on the Web has to do streaming.

This isn't new at all, just one of the first things I found by googling "webgl demo."
WebGPU of course goes even further.
I think the real gap is just that people by-and-large aren't building real games on top of Safari. It's more lucrative to use the app store with its low-friction payment system.
At the same level, as a commercial game, not a tech demo scene.
