That's not entirely fair to JS frameworks. There hasn't been a major new framework in years, with Angular, Vue and especially React dominating the ecosystem. React in particular presents a unique way of thinking about and composing UIs and the model has leaked into plenty of other ecosystems, for example SwiftUI which borrows heavily from it.

The reason new frameworks can't dislodge the big 3 is because they aren't bringing new ideas. Any framework that changed UI development as much as React did would absolutely be worth noting.

What's your opinion about Svelte? Has it made any big contributions to the ecosystem? Isn't the syntax and in general the way of creating components more intuitive with Svelte in comparison to for example React?
It might be more intuitive for some, although that's a very subjective term. It's too much like react to really displace it, imo.
