OP here. I can relate to this on other domains. But maybe in some cases Lego-like app delivery is enough? In my case I really mostly want to do simple static sites now (and build up experience to make more complex apps soon), the reusable components of React and the static site generation means one can work with a limited subset of JS and do _something_. Not aiming to be a specialised Frontend dev.

It's hard to do a compromise when needing to know other parts of the stack (backend, DS, devops). Perhaps in several scenarios one can be happy with some Lego-like apps (pareto rule) and hire specialised frontend devs when needed?
