Again, it’s an economics problem. More specifically what you are addressing is not an availability problem, as everyone most commonly believes, but a selection problem.

Seriously, think about this logically. The compile target of the browser is the DOM. What is it these developers are so deathly afraid of: the DOM. Yes, it is raw emotional fear processed in the amygdala, qualified with poorly formed bullshit excuses. So, what about this induces fear? It’s not the technical challenge, because it’s not that challenging and easily taught to non-developers. I know this from experience. That’s how I know it’s a selection problem.
