you can use fully featured frontend frameworks without a build step. while that may sound ingenious because you are effectively using a prebuilt version of the framework (so there is a build step somewhere) you are not suffering the problems that come with building it yourself. instead your code is used and stored in a way that it will work directly in the browser as long as browsers support javascript.
