You either

* write stateful UIs (native, jQuery)

* have a Virtual DOM (React, Vue)

* use a template language that is JIT or AOT compiled (Angular, Svelte)

Those are your choices.

I swear React has rotted the brains of a generation of web developers. We've been keeping state out of the DOM with POJsOs before there even were popular frameworks.
