So glad to hear this sentiment. It's frustrating that so many people don't seem to acknowledge how flexible HTML/Javascript is. It's not perfect, it's probably not the most efficient possible set of APIs, but it has to deal with a whole lot of legacy, just like most programming languages/platforms/frameworks.

Much of this conversation seems to consist of "the popular solution to this insanely complex problem is hard! Why isn't it trivially easy!?"
