> I'd wager $500USD on longbets that Web Components will still function in 20 years.

You've already lost that bet. WebComponents v0 was not only introduced and implemented, but Google rewrote Youtube with it.

It got promptly deprecated, replaced with v1, and v0 lingered for another four years before Google rewrote Youtube with v1

v0 wasn't standardized, so it doesn't count.

Also to add some more specificity to the bet, I mentioned a web component created in 2024 which wouldn't be v0.

Good point :)
