#3The web is so fast-moving and iterative there aren't really 'generations'. I'd say the biggest growth I've noticed in recent years is CSS. The past ~4 years have seen CSS become a lot more capable, not just for design but also for interactivity, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down.

#4The next big web disruption is commercialized, self-hosted, personal servers. Everything is already there except a branding and easy IPv6. Think how disruptive the that will be for businesses based on ad revenue and traffic funnels.

#5I think the Web (HTML/JS/CSS) is now a much more capable platform but many people didn't notice yet. React fatigue might help it gain traction.

What are some examples of interactive CSS?

#8Single-player internet? At some point, LLMs can probably simulate enough of the entire internet to just fake it on localhost, and any URL you type in will generate a whole website right then and there, customized to your personality, genes, and politics.

You are describing the www of the 90s. Ok, we didn't host at home but basically you "built your own website". There were no "big businesses based on ad revenue and traffic funnels".
Of course (compared to now) it sucked. Discoverability was hard. Quality was (let's be generous) erratic. There was no interaction (no comments, chat et al - thats what email and news (nntp) were for.
If you look at the big businesses based on ad revenue (Google, YouTube, facebook) they evolved out of that landscape specifically to solve problems. Those problems remain regardless of where the sites are hosted, so moving the hosts won't affect them.
