I CANNOT STAND UI's that are interactable before they have completed their layout rendering! Or things like notifications that suddenly push everything down, right when you were about to tap on one of those elements! Why is this still a thing? Any UI element that shifts or appears should have like a user-adjustable half-second delay before it becomes interactable again
Conversely, it's hard to overstate how magical sites become when you get that down to 0. Once stuff stops shifting, users are effectively fooled into believing that sites are finished loading. Sites just feel fast, even if things are still happening. It's sadly hard to get there, and very easily worsens.

HTML/CSS/JS stack makes that the default and coding your way out of that is hard
Its just the worst
For all you dystopian fiction writers:
the end of all humanity, caused by lazy loading JavaScript.
It shouldn't take more than a weekend, and the "Terrifyingly realistic!" reviews will write themselves.
