Except that, even on 33.6 kbps, it would take literally hours to load the average 2021 web page...

Those small speeds only worked for the old gray pages with blue links and one, two at most stamp-sized images. Today you need broadband to load the 100 MB of advertising scripts and huge yet unrelated media composing a page (usually bereft of all useful information).
