problem is, the most important "abstractions" for describing the UI are not built "on top of" HTML, but along side it (CSS and to a limited degree JS). the relationship between contemporary "frameworks" and HTML is not like that of C and assembler or even Rust and assembler. It is more like that of a driver of a vehicle that has each of a gasoline, electric and steam powered motor, and must constantly pick which one to use for a given situation (sometimes two and occasionally all three).
