To be fair, I would say a lot of this is a result of marketing/sales trying to push a lot of BS on the page, and managers or devs failing to push back.
Is the developer guily of creating a "ad bloated, video playing" webpage? Yes, a lot of them don't care and make it bloated, but even if you tried, you can't do much to improve the perfomance of a bad idea.
