"This content is not available in your region" internet used to be fun

What I would give to be able to zoom in on an image without causing the entire page to reflow and crash mobile safari repeatedly.

Surely I’m not the only one who encounters this. Why haven’t Apple devs (or web devs in general) fixed this?
