If you do plain html, you get responsive for free. It only becomes a problem when you start throwing in css layout shit. The solution is simple: don't do css layout shit.

Why do people do it? Easier?
One thing I can agree with you on is that the use of parallax should be a crime punishable by death.
Flask is good and doesn't get in the way.
So, no arguments besides >waaah me do'nt like css gimme back my 90s web with table layouts!! :(:(:(
Most people don't do their own web design. When you use blog software like wordpress it comes with complicated themes. Big corps have millions of dollars to waste building websites, and design is driven by management, who don't give a fuck about page weight or any of that crap. If you are writing a website from scratch, it pays to keep it simple.
Use css tastefully. Specifically avoid layout css. Table layouts are better, when necessary, but try to keep the footprint small.

Fucking nice to hear someone say you should use tables. I hate when people discourage it. It's so much fucking simpler and I don't have to use a shitload of CSS.
