jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile are deprecated. Take in mind, it comes from an age before HTML 5 became set in stone. Browsers weren't caught up yet. JavaScript libraries weren't plentiful and mature as they are now. CSS frameworks like bootstrap also didn't exist until years later. And there was more optimism toward the concept of creating a widget toolkit and a webview mobile app. And while to an extent - we embrace that now in some form - it didn't work so well the first go around [1]. Media queries becoming a normal practice and CSS frameworks made jQuery Mobile feel clunky. Heavy duty mobile apps went native - and I can't know where they are now. For jQuery UI, over time, the theming got a bit old. And stuff like "Buttons" (https://jqueryui.com/button/), you can already get via CSS. Most CSS frameworks, for that matter, do a lot of the widgets with far less JS, if any at all. I'll miss them. They were a stepping stone in getting us to where we are now.
