Because in many cases, manipulating the DOM with vanilla JS sucks way more than writing declarative code with a framework.

It's really not that bad. At least not in 2022. With the caveat that you can keep your UI (DOM manipulation) code from your business logic code. Which I'm sceptical of given the front-end code bases I've seen in the wild.

But no one writes blog posts about how Vanilla JS 2 is no longer supported so they had to migrate to Svelte :)
