I don't think the problem is too hard. It's just that people don't seem to understand the different models and history of things.

People have this not-invented-here syndrome. It also comes from the fact that they initially think a certain framework is too complex. Only to figure out later that they didn't understand why certain things were done in a specific way. Also, the fame and opportunity that comes with creating a framework cannot be denied.

For example, The whole "MVC" term on the web is plain wrong (web2.0 times). It's a term from actual GUI programmer, bolted on a document presentation format.

These days it's probably faster and easier to distribute an OS such as MenuetOS via web assembly, and simply run a GUI application inside which uses a simple JSON api.

About statefulness... why are we introducing stateful applications which is then patched up with server side rendering when a simple html application would suffice? It makes no sense. It's stupid, costly, and has 0 benefits.

For more complex applications, sure.. but tbh, where are those? Is a simple admin panel or login screen really 10x more difficult to create than VS Code, or for that matter Microsoft Access?

"Engineers" in general like^H^H^Hlove^H^H^Hget off on complexity. That is where the problem lies. It's intellectual porn and toxic as hell.
