That’s why I said for better or worse :)

In a way I disagree with you.

On accessibility: I see more custom components that nobody cares to make it properly working with keyboard interaction compared to native HTML input components.

On standards - mixed feelings: we had XHTML, now we don’t. We had IE and jQuery to deal with it, now we don’t need it, but I still see many places that have the old “works best with” message, now with Chrome instead.

On maintainable code: it’s a different shit show, we exchanged spaghetti code for billions of npm dependencies that break if you dare to try and upgrade something.

Yeah you're not wrong, I'd stop half way around 2005, or maybe in the alternate world where the whatwg, Chrome etc never happened ;)
