Comcast and Verizon sent all the Netflix traffic through a single switch to their networks and held Netflix hostage for the deal that Verizon and Comcast wanted to make rather than allowing Netflix to just buy the equipment and pay for maintenance....Level 3 has had the same problems with Verizon and Comcast.

The compiler could easily create a search engine friendly file that presents the page information for indexing and browsers are being presented with standard HTML so accessibility is not an issue.

Gains in productivity from development teams, middleware that will compile and publish all released code, the obvious benefits from compile time checking of variables, arrays, etc. will probably offset the loss of flexibility of the development channel.
