We have always tried to make the web do more. Whatever problems you have with today’s web are nothing compared to the horror that was Macromedia Shockwave, Adobe Flash, and Java plugins.

Specifically, the use case is dragging food home from grocery stores or dragging cards in plastic boxes/board games around at best…

Interestingly, English is my first language and the native language of my home country, and this is not a phrase you would expect to hear unless literal dragging is involved. In my country, we might say “lugging” or “hauling” where you used “dragging”. Maybe it is a local thing for you.
