My sense is that jQuery and early web front-end approaches reflect how designers think. They were created by designers who understood code for other designers who didn’t so that designers could play a role in the web. Sites wanted to be unique.

New frameworks reflect how developers think. Sites want to work more than they want to look unique. In many cases, uniqueness is viewed as driving up training or onboarding cost.
