Thank you! It seems pretty clear to me, modularity is supposed to be the modern standard for quality code, so why are we normalizing websites that use scripts with more arms than Cthulhu harvesting uniquely identifiable data from our personal devices by running arbitrary code locally? It seems insane to me...

"One tool for one job." It's pretty basic Unix philosophy. So why do we now have "One script for several hundred different fingerprint variables, oh and also the website's basic functionality"?
