I do agree with you. I'd go even further and say using vue helps build more maintainable websites in that it encapsulates components and thus keeps related things together. Also that it provides a separation of the data model and how it is displayed, so one can reason about both things separately.

But, all that are not things this article is about. They just name five specific things you meet regularly in web design and that don't need JS anymore. And in that case it's valid as the browser will generally do things better than you do yourself, be more accessible and integrate better into different platforms / OSes.
