I really don't understand modern web development. If people would build websites without shit, they wouldn't need stuff like this.

The web as a "document only" medium is long gone. However where I would slightly agree with you is new sites that could have a simple interface loading tonnes of JS. But for business apps delivered over the web, yes we need tooling to tame JS.

That's not for building simple static websites or simple blogs. That's for when you build a web application. Think Slack client, gmail, Jira, etc.
