"Everything we do to make it harder to create a website or edit a web page, and harder to learn to code by viewing source, promotes that consumerist vision of the web.

Pretending that one needs a team of professionals to put simple articles online will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Overcomplicating the web means lifting up the ladder that used to make it possible for people to teach themselves and surprise everyone with unexpected new ideas."

Agreed. On a related note, the web browser should be a way to view content, not a replacement for your OS that works by downloading and executing arbitrary code on your machine. Simple web design is ethical web design.
