I bet all of your examples are not something you deploy to a modern application today.

All of those are good in theory but don't stand against the demands of modern consumers.

Bet lost.

If as a technologist you can’t imagine companies making money selling software to happy customers without relying on the brittle trendy framework du jour, my only advice would be to spend less time making silly bets with strangers on internet discussion boards and more time looking at boring profitable companies.

Of course, because everyone is a freelancer who can just choose what technology they can use to work on, right?

You sincerely believe that devs will just add complexity to their work just because?

A lot of devs justify the time they spend keeping up with the technological Joneses as necessary to keep pace with current trends (especially in UI). I think it is a bit of a cope though, because users just want to solve their problems.

They don't care about React or htmx. They just want something that fixes the problem.

This is actually very freeing: meet a real need and you don't have to believe that software development consists on running on a treadmill of constant changes for their own sake. Just do the job competently.

We don't live in a world where every dev can choose the technology they work on.

Most of the time it is dictated by the whims of corporate(by making frameworks/tools as part of a job requirement) or by the mob(teams need to collective decide what technology to use).

It must be very tiring to keep up with the demands of all modern consumers. There are so many of them, and they are so different from each other.

Meanwhile when I go out in the world I see all manner of front-ends being actively used. It's almost like different users want different things idk.
