Typically it seems to come from the encouragement to offload more of the website logic to the client side. A WordPress install takes usually 15MB of disk space. a lot of that is PHP code that runs on your server. That will never be seen by browsers as it's sharing the work between server and client.

The onset of SPA's what contributes to this. It's making server-side content generation leaner, although sometimes at the expense of the user experience with worse page responsiveness during downloads. What's debatable is if the user benefits are worth the increase of upfront UX cost.
