The increasing complexity of the protocols that the web is built on is not a problem for developers who simply need to find a tool or client to use the protocol, but it is a kind of regulatory capture that ensures only established players will be the ones able to meet the spec required to run the internet. I know ACME alone is not insurmountably complex, but it is another brick in the wall.

These protocols all have open source implementations. And as AI gets stronger this barrier will get smaller and smaller.

So instead of designing simpler protocols (like HTTP/1.1 is), we do not care and let AI figure it out? Sounds great to me... /s
