Are still talking about the jQuery usage in https://joshdata.me/iceberger.html or in general? If the former, then I agree that jQuery was unnecessary here, all API functions used by the author now has appropriate functions shipped natively in the browser runtimes, so using jQuery was actually more work than not (unless the author never used the vanilla API but have used the jQuery API).

Otherwise I agree with you in general.
