This line of thinking is why web mobile experience is garbage.

300x300 scatterplot holds potentially 90K points. Even in the case of just 10K datapoints, sampling considerations may mean that it is simpler and more maintainable to just ship full-resolution data to the frontend to be drawn--an option that only exists if you can do so efficiently.

You're wrong on this mate.
