It’s incredible that these were created almost 10 years ago and yet so little of the internet uses d3 or similar interactivity these days.

What do you mean by “so little of the internet uses d3 or similar interactivity”?

D3 is not as ubiquitous as one might think. Outside newsroom graphics departments most visualizations consumed through the browser are published using low-effort crappy BI tools like Power BI and Tableau or some generic charting libraries. So still even in 2023 when you see something that’s been meticulously crafted using a low-level approach (like D3) that allows that slick native feel it’s very impressive.

I just mean I don’t see as many websites using d3 as I’d expect given how amazing it is

I remember seeing your Obama 2013 budget article and being giddy. I just wish I saw more of that.
