The whole thing seems a lot like AI slop for SEO. The demo websites look incredibly AI-generated, they don't even resemble the 90s web that well. The project description/README has all the signs of being AI, too.
I think they're trying to get some sympathy (and promotion) with a project that seems inherently human, as the "old web" was, but it's slop all the way down. And people are falling for it.
That's exactly what this is - relying on sheer nostalgia-porn to overcome the fact that this is a low-effort, vibe-coded mess. Hey remember pogs? Remember double bubble? Remember trapper keeper?
To make up for it, here's an actually great collage of weird 90s web:
