Good point, but when I purposefully limit the amount of dependencies and use dependencies that have no dependencies (like Vue.js), can I make my web app long-lasting that way (like I can with C89 and SDL)?

IOW: is there an issue with (vanilla) JS despite it being a standardized language?

Likely, but you probably also depend on a browser... OTOH html5 seems quite backwards compatible and stable
