This depends on when you started using the web. 15 years ago an (additional) navigation bar at the bottom was not surprising.

Hamburgher menus, albeit fancy, where really confusing at the start. Personally I still think overusing them is design laziness.

Have to agree to disagree then. You're design laziness is my "grateful for consistency so I don't have to learn your navigation"

How does hiding a menu behind a very small button consisting of 3 vertical lines make website navigation easier?

The authors webpage is functionally similar except the menu is labeled "sitemap" and it's text is always visible to screen readers.

It contains some mystery meat, that's for sure.

When you look at a website with a burger menu, you know what the burger menu does. When you look at a website without a burger menu, you know what the website does.
