Part of it is flash going away too soon before there was a viable replacement for rich us experiences and it’s taking some time to make that happen (and then some).

Things have been quite brittle and requiring constant updating, or more than seems reasonable. Many devs don’t know a better or simpler time.

There seems to be some emerging options, whether it’s the livewire type technologies, or the most recent new curves that libraries like svelte, flutter, alpinejs and more have taken, providing most of the bang with less overhead.
